Excellent call..Done! Ps..chose this photo because he looks like there’s no other place in the world he’d rather be than at Belmore Oval..I’m sure he will always be up in the stand looking on..

Shut the office door and watched the streaming from the bulldogs site.
Great service and loved all the speakers.
Well done to the club and Belmore did Steve proud today.

I'm so glad I was fortunate enough to be able to attend. It was a really beautiful send off for Folksey.

So many big names turned out and at the end when people who had worked with the great man were asked to form a guard of honour there was so many people that they couldn't fit. He had an impact on so many people.

I really feel for the family, both parents lost before their times is devastating.

I didn't expect Folksey to be there actually, but it was great to clap him off the field one last time.

He will not be forgotten.

If anyone would like to watch it that should work. It was a great funeral. It sounds like the wrong word to use, but it was. His family and friends loved him greatly. One of those blokes who are so good you take for granted they're that good. Folkes should be an inspiration to many.

Thanks obje, much appreciated.

One of the hardest things you can do in life is speak at a relative or friend's funeral. I'd like to congratulate Haley Shaw (Folkes' daughter), Lynne Anderson, Ross Folkes, Peter Mortimer, Allan Thompson & Steven Price (I hope I didn't forget anyone) for doing it. My deep admiration goes to you all for your courage. I'd also like to thank the Bulldogs & the Folkes extended family for allowing us supporters to share in this very personal & tragic event. It's a hard thing to go through let alone publicly. The Bulldogs are the family club in so many ways.

Steve Folkes made my World a better place for over 40 years, just by doing the things he loved. He brought so much joy to so many whilst being so humble. He may not have liked the fuss that was made over him today but it was more than deserved. Rest in peace Steve, you were a great man in many respects.

I think it was either his son or son in law?

I am pretty sure it was Steve's son. Glasses were really bad but he gave a lot of comfort to his (I assume) sister.

Does anyone know the bloke who always appears on the news in Parra or Dogs gear? I saw him there today and he sat in the ex players section. Is he affiliated with the club somehow or just a loon?


Edit he was the guy on embarassing bodies

From what I know, a loon. He was Semi Radradra's flat mate too. I think his name is Raymond & was always at the footy show (which I hasten to add was only watched when a Doggies player was on & recorded & fast forwarded to that bit!)

Great suggestion. Done. Chosen to show the interface with fans, us .. and how much we appreciated his passion and effort for our club.

Thanks Steve!
