Exclusive: Birthday boy Dave sends YOU his BEST

|

gold-david-gold-west-ham-co-owner-july-2014_3179990David Gold is this morning celebrating his 8oth birthday and has been sent a gift for the man who has everything – a Twitter follower’s overdraft!.

ClaretandHugh rang the joint chairman this morning to wish him personally the best day of his life on behalf of our followers.

And in cheeky style he immediately came back with a typical one-liner: “Hughie if you are getting woried – 80 is not a problem :-)”

Few years to go yet DG!

But he was keen to thank everybody among our followers who are wishing him well and had already posted our tribute to him on his facebook page with thanks https://www.facebook.com/david.gold.940?fref=ts.

He said: “I feel so hooured to be joint chairman of this club and it was such a delight to go through my twitter and find nothing but thanks, congratulations and appreciation.

One man wrote: “I’m sending you something for the man who has everything – my overdraft.”

DG declared: “It’s been a great morning thus far and of course after my hole in one earlier in the week all we need now is a win over Watford for the hat-trick.

“Thanks to every one of you.”

Thanks to you David – from us all!

    Thank you for transforming West Ham.
    You are one of the spriteliest 80 year olds around. Looking forward to many years to come.
    Have a great day.

      That’s unusual for you to go over the top Fish head.

        • Sams P45 says:

          Haha,i cant believe you lot dont realise who he is.He is the same guy who came on sh#t stirring as Cometh the Moment durng the summer.I was reading an article the other day about Antonio & this CTM was identical in writing to FnC.He of course won’t admit it bcause he doesnt have the balls haha 😀

          • RickHammer says:

            Lmao you are so right Sams.I went back to the end of July.Cometh the Moments comments,especially about Antonio were almost identical & surprise,surprise he had a dig at the regulars by calling them ‘Girlies’.Now there’s a coincidence eh lol.There again none of us believed his bullsh1t about having never used this site before anyway.W#NKER!!!!

          • GW says:

            Come on then fishy have you actually got the balls to front this up or are you going to do what most of us think you’ll do and just create another profile and have a pop at us “Girlies” again. Doubt you’ve got a spine so I’ll have a guess a new annoying little ***** will appear in no time 🙂

          • Sams P45 says:

            GW he can say whatever he wants but all you have to do is go back to the stirrer from the summer CtM & it is him all over.The comments are so similar they would stand up in court haha.It was so fecking obvious he had been here before no matter what ‘poor victim me’ sh!t he came out with.If he comes on shouting his mouth off I will just paste a comment on from July & everyone will see it’s the same guy.He even wrote the end to two comments as both accounts with the same stupid comment in brackets Haha.He ain’t even clever at what he does haha 😀

      • GW says:

        Good old fishy the only person that can create two personalities each as ****ing annoying as the other 🙂

        • johnboy says:

          Haha, he’s a bottom feeder lads ! In more ways than one lol, done him like a kipper 45 😉

          • Sams P45 says:

            Haha yeah John.I knew he had been here before because of something he said to me.But I decided to stay out of it & see if he would just feck off eventually.But when he started again about this hairdressers stuff it bugged me.Anyway if he comes back crying I will just paste the comment from July on here.Better if he saves himself the embarrassment I think haha 😀

  • johnboy says:

    Not on my own thenlol. Even Dave’s having trouble with his moji ( smiley ) 😉

  • Eug says:
