El Clem was a great bloke….one that I had the pleasure to attend University with and play the great game of Rugby League with.  The bond we had through that was immense and had always stayed in touch from that point on (1996 onwards….). We toured Ireland together on a studen rugby league and I have the honour of rooming with him in a youth hostel somewhere in Dublin!  We were a double act….the barrel of love (Dave) and the Keg of sex (me).  We decided to turn in for the evening….Dave was on the top bunk, I was on the bottom…..

Moss,

yes Clem,

you awake?  

Yes marra,

fancy a pint?  

Aye go on

We took a crate of whatever lager we had bought on the way over downstairs and were the life and soul of the party until 4am.  That week was a memorable as they come and solidified El Clem in my mind as a great bloke and mate.

He was the best 70’s disco dancer I knew….no one could keep up with him…what a mover and we spent many nights at Love train in Manchester terrorising the cliental….happy happy memories

I will miss talking to him but I and he have memories to cherish and I value that for the rest of my life

RIP my good mate!
