Sending the Positives - Saints member
Some or many will remember Noddy from both here and the old 'Saints Chat ' which he also assisted with over it's time.
Unfortunately either before or after the last Saints game in Adelaide Noddy ( Geoff) appears to have suffered a heart attack - mild.
The upshot being he had heart surgery to repair and replace pieces last Monday 6th.
He has not come through this well and is currently in a medically induced Coma as they endeavour to stabilise his condition.
His family are with him daily including his wife Jen who is battling aggressive cancers after recurrence of breast cancer.
Noddy said the last Adelaide game was the first in 37 years he has not had Jen by his side.-
There are undoubtedly other Saints fans and members battling illness and My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
The saints need as many rusted on Halos as possible- stick around and share the loyalty.

Re: Sending the Positives - Saints member
Thanks Bratty.
That is terrible news.
I hope that he gets well soon. This must be most difficult on his wife who has her own issues.
It certainly puts all of our club woes in perspective !

Re: Sending the Positives - Saints member
Oh that is terrible news bratty. Fight on dear Noddy04. I met the Nodster and Jen one time at Etihad when they were over from Adelaide & I from Perth. A lovely couple. I wish them both all the best. Yes Jen has been struggling for years with cancer, she has been a brave fighter. Both true Saints supporters.
Thanks Bratty for the not so good news, please keep us informed.

Nice to see you post again bratty.

Re: Sending the Positives - Saints member
I too remember Noddy from old saints chat days...much better days it would seem..
Sparred often with Nod and he gave as good as he got
Fight on Nod - hope you win this one as we need all the Saints we can get.

Get welll Noddy.
Like Teffers I’ve fought a bit with the Nodster - he’s a true fighter and that will help him now.
(I thought this was a post about a member supporting Richo!)

Re: Sending the Positives - Saints member
I second your sentiments re: the nodster Loris. Last season, in the wake of (another) lousy result at Adelaide Oval ( V Crows) I made the mistake of committing my mood to writing on this forum, I was called out for my hissy fit, and given a (much needed?) “kick up the bum” by Noddy04. When sanity returned I sent him a PM as a conciliatory gesture. The response I got was marvellous and said SO much about the man ( and also about our great “ Saints Family”) I was fortunate enough to meet up with Noddy at Adelaide Oval for the Port game.loris wrote: ↑Wed 15 Aug 2018 1:40pm Oh that is terrible news bratty.

The time spent in his company provided some light in what was otherwise a very dark afternoon.
Get well SOON Noddster! We Saints need all the folk like you that we can get!

Re: Sending the Positives - Saints member
message from the family today via facebook to friends.
"Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts while Geoff has been battling in ICU. He still has a fair way to go but is now awake and can talk a little. Jenny is so strong, being there by his side whilst going through chemo.......the nurses and doctors agreed that Geoff needed some time outside. "
Nice to see a photo of he and Jenny whilst he was outside.
