| a terrible terrible shame, i loved ockher, go all the way back to the testimonial match for Gary Chambers and Chris Rudd, the after party at the touchdown tavern, i ended up talking to him sat at the end of the bar, and must've paid for his beer for half the night.
Cracking fella to talk to, always saw him charging over bridge foot or through town on his mobility scooter, sporting some kind of RL merchandise.
RIP mate.

| Murphy always said Ocker was the best signing he ever made.

| I will always remember Ocker with fondness.
On Saturday mornings in the very early 80's, as a kid I trained at Wilderspool and coached by Kevin Ashcroft.
One day I was in the gym afterwards and had my boots, Ocker looked at them and noticed they had worn nylon studs.
He took my boots away with him for a few minutes then returned them back to me with shiny new steel studs.
He made one kid very very happy and many many years later I met him again when he was on his scooter. I got to thank him once again.
Ill never forget that moment for the rest of my life.
Thanks again Ocker and rest peacefully.

| Such sad news. Another Wire legend off to that great rugby field in the sky. RIP Ockher.

| A million memories, but whenever I hear Ockhers name I can almost smell his room at Wilderspool!
We talk about the game lacking 'character' these days, sadly we have lost a real character here. RIP, thoughts and prayers with his family
