[Manorlounger]

Only spoke to him a few weeks ago. Will miss seeing him arrive at away games. RIP Womble.

Candidate for a minutes applause next home game, surely?

 

[Take me home]

RIP Andy

 

[Lincoln.yellow1]

Sad to hear......!
He has probably attended more Oxford United games than anyone else over the past decades. A true fan, he will definitely be missed...
RIP Womble...

 

[Bigfella72]

One if not the best ref at Sunday league level back in the good old days. RIP Andy

 

[ZeroTheHero]

[Paul P]

A sad day indeed. RIP Womble.

 

[StEbbesYellows]

So sorry to hear this sad news. A true Yellow through thick and thin. I shall miss our chats Andy at away matches; always cheerful and always something interesting to say about the game and the club. My thoughts are with your nearest and dearest.

 

[Lucky-Lewis]

So sad to hear this RIP Womble ?

Over 40 years I've known Womble, such a sad day, Glad he made it to Rangers pre season, had a drink and short chat with him there. Didn't miss many games. RIP Andy

 

[OUFCGav]

RIP Womble.
Over 2600 games attended according to his Groundhopper account.

 

[Concretebob]

RIP Womble

 

[Steve McAvoy]

Remember Andy from the pre-match beer at the Supporters Club at the Manor and countless sightings at grounds across the country. RIP.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

RIP Andy.
I first encountered Andy on the old away terrace at St James Park, Exeter in January 1984.
I was stood near him and got talking after Andy Thomas had his leg broken by Exeter ‘keeper Len Bond.

 

[Colin B]

Very sad news, even though it was expected. I'm sure the club will do something for him.

RIP Andy. End of an era.

 

[MarkG]

RIP. I remember a few years back he had a run of several years without missing a game home and away only to be thwarted by a broken down car and the recovery vehicle to be late as well.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

A true Oxford United legend. He had time for everyone and was a true gent. Away games won't be the same without someone shouting "shut up Womble".

I hope the club do something in his honour because Womble really was in a league of his own.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

RIP. I remember a few years back he had a run of several years without missing a game home and away only to be thwarted by a broken down car and the recovery vehicle to be late as well.

I believe that was either Northampton or Burton away.

 

[uptheus]

I believe that was either Northampton or Burton away.

Think it was Burton away.

 

[OxfordNondie]

A true Yellow
RIP

 

[uptheus]

RIP Womble.

 

[Paul B]

Think it was Burton away.

Yes, think it was Burton.

 

[Paul B]

Very sad news, even though it was expected. I'm sure the club will do something for him.

RIP Andy. End of an era.

End of an era really does sum it up.
