| TLA: RIP 10:37 - Aug 5 with 107981 views | Swailsey |
Hello all,
Lisa has asked for me to pass this very sad news on.
Unfortunately we lost Oz yesterday. By all accounts he wasn’t in any pain or afraid.
I know the messages below were recieved and provided comforted to both him and Lisa.
RIP Oz. I wish we had met sooner than a year ago.
You were a fu*king hero and someone I knew would be a friend for life.
Marc

It’s with a very heavy heart that I received a message from TLA’s wife last night saying he is critically ill in hospital at the moment and isn’t conscious. He has been battling health problems for a while it seems.
TLA has been a wonderful (digital and in person) friend to me since meeting him on here and I know he has been supportive of many others on here too.
He recently deleted his profile (I’m unsure of the reasons why - perhaps connected) but I know his wife still reads TWTD, so I’m calling on all of you wonderful people to help make this a thread of love, support and best wishes to them both and their friends and families (this thread has her blessing).
Let’s give him something TWTDesque to read.
Hang in there mate. The world is an immeasurably better place with you in it. Missed you at half time yesterday.

Always a nice chap.
Sending positive vibes to him and the family. |  | | |

Sending best wishes for a speedy and long term recovery. Hopefully he can lead the team out as mascot at Wembley when we go up via the play offs. |  | | |

I let Rommy know, he asked me to post the following.
‘TLA was as kind a poster via PM as he was in the couple of times we met up. He was always so good to me. A very kind and warm-hearted individual. My thoughts are with him today and I pray he pulls through. Stay strong. George (Rommy)’ |  |

So sorry to hear the terrible news.
I have enjoyed his posts and, as others have said, he never had a bad word to say about anyone or anything.
Get well soon TLA. We need you posting again soon! |  | | |

Hi folks, Lisa, Oz (TLA)'s wife here. Really appreciate all the messages - will go and read them out to him in a minute. For all of those saying he's been kind, supportive and seems like a really good bloke you're completely right - what you see is completely what you get! I know I'm biased, but he is an absolute inspiration of a man. He's been my best friend and hero for 26 years, and from the amount of well wishes and visitors he's had suggests he means a lot to everyone.
He's currently stable but highly critical. They think it's a liver problem which caused huge internal bleeding. They're unable to investigate the cause at the moment as their main concern is keeping him alive.
I'll do my best to keep everyone updated. He's completely sedated but we were able to bring a radio in to his room yesterday to listen to the game. I was with him when we scored after 5 mins and had to apologise to the nurse for shouting so loudly! |
My sincerest best wishes, that sounds truly awful.
I wish him the fullest of recoveries and good news asap. |  |

Absolutely devastated to hear this. He really is one of the good guys on here. We were recently conversing via PM about doing a half marathon together and I hadn't realised his health had deteriorated recently.
Hope you get better mate. Thinking of you. |  |

That's a dreadful post to read this evening, and even more so for you to have to write.
My very best wishes to Oz and Lisa at this terrible time and I sincerely hope that the NHS does what it can do so well.
I've had a couple of conversations with TLA on here, we were going to meet for a beer at The Oval last Summer but the weather was atrocious so he didn't make it up. I very much hope to do that at some point in the future. |  |

It's been lovely to read all your messages on here, and I read them out to Oz this afternoon, just to remind him what a popular b'stard he is! He's still in pretty much the same condition - critical but stable - but he's receiving really good care and seems to be holding his own.
It's crazy how quickly life can turn upside-down - we spent last weekend in Ipswich (we live in the badlands), went to the Wham game, met the lovely chrisswailes for a pint and everything was fine. We had no idea he had any liver problems until Wednesday when this all started.
Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks again for all the messages - between chrisswailes and I we'll keep you updated. | | | |

I'd like to add my best wishes to everyone else's. Hope he keeps on fighting and the Doctors get some insight quickly to begin the path to recovery. | | | |

Thinking of you both. Oz is a genuine, compassionate, intelligent guy, with a real gift for communicating his passions for Town, but especially around issues of mental health. He has so much more to give, and there are so many people who will benefit from his wisdom and determination. | | | |
