*DJ* Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 i met him at a few tackle shows over the yrs, last time was about 6/8yrs back, he wasn't "the man in red" then though, he was well into his speci fishing, it was him that showed me how to tie a kd rig, he was a very nice fella who had time for everyone, sad, sad news. rip jan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Gutted to hear that. Man was legend and bloody good angler. I remember him in his Van Den Eynde hey day rocking the Eurotrash Porn star look like only he could. You never blank in heaven, but i don't reckon Jan ever did down on earth. RIP.

Owderb Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) He was a top bloke and a fantastic ambassador for angling I spent many a happy times with him on the Trent and at Ferry Meadows and in his shop in the early days It was him while we were travelling to a match at Ferry Meadows that suggested we needed to call at "The little thief" otherwise we would starve. It always made me chuckle and to this day we still call it "little thief" He also got me my first pole and I still remember it. It was a Tricast Maestro Owd Edited April 29, 2016 by Owderb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
