I have no idea if this will get onto the correct page, I don't have Oliver here to show me how to do it
in his calm 'talking to idiots' sort of way he had when talking to me about technology.
First can I thank all his friends here who have left messages. Since Jazz told me about it yesterday I have kept catching up with what has been left,
and I can't tell you all what a support it has been. I always knew what a good lad he was but to know that you all knew it too has helped me more than
you could ever know.
To whoever set up the book of condolence, thankyou. All of his family have read it exept his Mother and Brother who can't yet face it but I know it will be a
help to them in the future.
As soon as we get more news I will pass it on to his mates so it can be passed onto you. Thanks again.
( To the person who set up the book, please don't think I am moaning, but is it possible to change the spelling of his name ?
It's Oli not Ollie and it realy pissed him off if anyone got it wrong ! I know it's only a small point and it doesn't alter the wonderful thing you have done. )

Any help just let us know, I think you got the hang of the technology pretty well better than most of us on here.....All that's missing is a Mary Kate and Ashley Avatar.
I can't even begin to know how you must be feeling, I hust hope it is the slightest bit of comfort that Oli has been in the thoughts of all of us on there since we heard the sad news.

Shocked and saddened
I've not made many posts and I only found out today at the game, but would just like to add that i've spent the last couple of hours reading all the tributes to Joly and it is very sad indeed. I sit behind the group of lads in the lower purple who sang their hearts out today in tribute to Joly and I found this very moving. Joly was clearly a person who touched so many and this shocking tradegy has impacted on the community of Walsall FC.

Can I just say that Oli's mates who were in the Saddlers Club today did him proud. What a touching and dignified way to handle such a sad occasion.
A few of us went out on a UTS night out last night (joly was meant to have been there also). It was decided to carry on the night and we raised a glass in his memory.
The songs of "Joly is a saddler" toward the end of the match was also very moving and I was proud to add my voice to it.

Oli was the most amazing person you could ever meet, he never said a bad word about anyone and he wouldnt have anyone say anything bad about anyone either. I traveled to most of the away games with oli and it was always a pleasure to be in his company, and away games are not going to be the same with out you mate im guna miss you so much :cry:.
Today has been one of the hardest times of my life and i thought the way the lads sang his name today was so touching i was proud to be singing his name along with the lads it would of been what oli would of wanted. Im never guna forget you mate you were a true friend and you will never be forgoten. Al my heart goes out to his family.
It was also pleasure to have a drink with oli's grandad today i thought he was the one of strongest men i have ever come across.
You will never be forgotten mate R.I.P.

I feel almost like a gatecrasher here as this is my first post - I only registered with the board this morning - but what a sad way to make my debut.
I didn't know Oli personally although I do recognise the face from matches but it is quite obvious from the size of this thread that he was a top bloke who was a friend to a lot of people.
My condolences to Oli's family. I hope you can take some comfort from the way the home end was chanting his name this afternoon - very moving indeed.

I have changed everything from Ollie to Oli.
I am glad that something I set up could show you our feelings at losing such a top bloke.
Our thoughts are with your family at such a sad time.

Kev, as I said to you yesterday I have absolutely no idea how you do it, but once again mate, brilliant, no sooner the request than the action, congratulations and thanks are due to you once again.
And to Oli's dad, how fantastic it is that you managed to come on here at a time like this, and also how pleasing it is for us to know that the messages from so many of Oli's friends and acquaintances have reached you and given you and the family so much comfort.
Some people have said the internet is impersonal, but these events have proved that is totally untrue. I can't think of any other way on earth that so many people could unite together so quickly to express such warmth and affection for a young man so tragically lost, and such support for his family and friends who are having to cope with the suddenness and devastation of their loss.

Although I never had the priviledge of meeting jolysaddler, this news puts one's own little troubles into perspective. As Stonnall Saddler put it, one should live life to the full as one does not know what is round the corner.
I can only pass on my deepest sympathy to Oli's family and friends............RIP Oli

Oli
Oli was one of a kind. He loved his club, so much so that he sat in a walsall shirt on the top of the empire state building in the middle of November despite he sub zero temperatures just so he could have a picture! It was one of his favourites, and one of mine to.
I was lucky enough to know and love Oli for the last 5 years. This amazing young man taught me so much, not only about life but myself.
Ol you were amazing, and it is testament to the man that you were that so many people, many who had never met you felt moved enough to write.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Julie, Shaun and the rest of his very lovely family.
May the memory of our very Jolysaddler go on forever, I know it will in the hearts of all his family and friends.
God bless you Oli xxxx
