Dulwich Hamlet, "Old skool Mishi for a 21st century Hamlet"

Evening all.
Sorry, on a small mobile thingy, so hope my fat fingers don't make to many mistakes.
A very good friend of mine, who helped me a hell of a lot over the last few years, is trying to get Dulwich Hamlet running as a football club.
He's on a list of people who want to be elected.....

I'm no good with words, so, please, if you're on Facebook go to the site in the title of this thread.
Over 40 years DH have been his team, genuinely.
Hopefully (sir) Henry Irving with concur with this.

Thanks.

    Mishi is a good man and Hamlet to the core. Used to watch me in rain and shine as a youth player when I wore the famous pink and blue stripes.
    Will check the site out.

    I know of this chap. My dad used to take me to Dulwich when I was younger and Charlton were away and we weren't going. I remember being at Dulwich and we found Leaburn had scored the hat trick at Ipswich.

    From what I remember of him this guy is a big character on the terraces of Champion Hill. Good to hear he's still going strong

    Well done Dulwich Hamlet and Mishi, top work fella.
    Mishi:

    At Stamford Bridge with the Football Foundation Community Club of the Year award for 2015/16 at the National Game Awards, organised by the Non League Paper on Wednesday. So proud to have picked it up on behalf of Dulwich Hamlet Football Club!
    Thank to Sam Elliott & all at the paper for making it such a special 'once-in-a-lifetime' day.

    I'm very sorry to say that Mishi died this morning. 

    He'd been in poor health since having a heart attack last year, and he had another heart attack - I think last week - at the funeral of another Dulwich fan. As I understand it, he'd been seriously ill in King's College Hospital since then. I know a few people at Charlton knew him, more will have done after he came to the museum during the summer - an experience he absolutely loved, despite his league allegiances leaning towards Millwall.

    Mishi was an awkward so-and-so and proud of it, but he did loads for his club - especially getting them re-established in the community when the crowds started to soar. Dulwich Hamlet - and non-league football in London - won't be the same without him.

    An absolutely devoted Dulwich Hamlet fan. he was interviewed when their FA Cup game was televised. Always infomative and enthusiastic when talking of anything DHFC on their forum.
    He is somebody who will be sorely missed.
    RIP

    I knew Mishi slightly years ago thru the quiz team and met him again a few months ago when he visited the museum.

    Lovely guy and football mad.

    RIP

    Really sorry to hear about Mishi. Was Hamlet through and through.

    Everyone knew him as a grumpy old goat, but he was never anything but pleasant to me. Committed to his club like few are. Stood up for what he believed in and was entirely genuine. Part of the furniture at Champion Hill and one of the biggest characters in non-league. Will raise a glass to him tonight. 

    RIP Mishi. You'll be missed and forever remembered. Here he is about to terrify Erhun Oztumer.

    There'll be a few going to the clubhouse tonight to pay their respects at the place he loved.

    Very sad news, I met him just a few times at Dulwich where he was huge part of the club and when he came to our museum, he was so complimentary. 

    He was the sort of person non-league football thrives on and as others have said Champion Hill wont be the same without him.

    Mishi was truly a Hamlet legend and a well known character on the non-league scene in general. He started many initiatives at Dulwich, many of them of a community nature, one of which was that the club should adopt a charity partner each year. He was also passionate about the history and heritage of the sport in general, which was why he loved the museum at the Valley when he visited in the summer. He was also instrumental in organising the DHFC trip to Hamburg in 2018 to commemorate the 125th anniversaries of Dulwich and Altona FC, a friendship between the two clubs that he had done much to rekindle. My very last conversation with him was a few weeks ago before the home match against Dartford during which we agreed to organise a battlefield tour with @SE7toSG3 to visit the club’s war dead from 1914-18. I was proud to call him a friend. Sleep well, Mishi.

    Mishi would have hated that. (And loved it).
