The *official* "whatever happened to?" thread

[Woodsey]

Anyone remember that guy right back in the day in the early stages of the game that was insane and kept going between broke and having a few hundred grand at his disposal more times that most of us can count? He was the first guy I remember that was blogging about it almost on a daily basis on his blog and we were all wtff and aghast with wide eyes?  

His blogspot was 99% something and maybe screen name of Blue scouse?

88% concentration I think.

He played on betfair when I was at the same cash tables and the queues when he sat were pretty huge long before people had seating scripts.   He was so bad and so frequently tilted that I even messaged him to tell him to stop listening to the fanboys and quit.  I have probably done this to less than 5 players lifetime.  I can even recall messaging others and telling them to stop encouraging him.  I won more off other players in the end, but there was never anyone else like bluescouse.

That's the one.

I remember he used to disappear/reappear with regularity. I never really played on Betfair, but a few mates did, and used to rail the 250/500 tables sometimes.

Remember there was a guy on Laddies 'David59', and he used to create the same response when he sat at 10/20

I think he was a rich businessman from Yorkshire, rather than a teenage degen.

Frankie Knight died unfortunately.

Proper old school gent, always had a twinkle in his eye.

Granite poker player though.

I'll miss him, RIP.

Very sad news indeed.

Frankie was, as Keith says, a lovely old school gentleman poker-player.

RIP

I can't believe that there are so few of us left on here who used to play at The Rainbow.

Quite a difference from today's live venues and the one which used to hold the annual British Poker Championship.

RIP Frank, always had a lot of time for him as he did for others. I learnt a lot from Frank sharing tables with him. Pity I never put it in to practice though.

I cut my poker teeth at the Rainbow in the 80's. My dad used to play brag there in the 70's among other places such as the midland Wheel for stud etc.

[I KNOW IT]

R.I.P Frankie a true gentleman and friend.  He used to arrange the WSOP Vegas trips for the regulars at junction 10.
How I truly miss those days .

Listened to many tales of the old days with him  and shared  some great nights out. 
True legend who would help anyone .
He will be missed. xx

Trying to remember his Blonde alias now.
