Re: R.I.P. DevilFish Glad I got a chance to have another beer or five with Dave just last November. He nicknamed me the Matrix 11 years ago and every time we met it was good times! RIP Devilfish! :sad

Re: R.I.P. DevilFish He was a funny guy, glad to have met him a couple of times in the Isle of Man back when they had tournaments there. A Late Night Poker original, very sad.

I live in Hull and was working in an opticians called 'Vision Express' at around 1997, and made a pair of shades for Dave as per his requirements ( oblong shades with a very dark brown lens). I remember what he said to me: 'do you know who I am? I said 'no' he said, 'I'm the devilfish'! in my mind I was thinking 'who?' ....but that was poker in 1997 I have seen those shades worn in a few of the many vids featuring the legend that is the 'fish'. Still feel good now i supplied the legend with his eyewear. People have said arrogant. I say confident. non conformist, yes. Dave was a sledger of the highest order, lest we forget. my only regret was not meeting dave on a table and telling the fella i was from Hull too, and done his glasses years ago.......great conversationalist......dont stop talking dave
