Old age is telling on me now . Tomorrow I shall be 78 .I have always remained attached to Burnley and Burnley alone . Many Mauritian football fans know how much I am concerned by Burnley .
i would wish to have a gift from my beloved club . A win against WBA on Saturday .Will it be possible ? I hope yes .

Happy birthday for tomorrow, Dave, my favourite poster and perhaps the only Hindu claret around.

Happy Birthday Dave. It's my birthday too tomorrow - 61 years and counting!

And mine.
A sprightly 52.
Happy birthday to all.

Never knew so many Clarets born on the 5th May ... me too!! Ten years more than you though Jeffbfc. Happy birthday for tomorrow for all us special people!!

all the best, Dave! the most linguistically magical burnley fc correspondent of all time.

There's no way Dave is a Taurus.

Happy Birthday Dave...they gave me a present for mine last weekend so why not !

I was born in a village called Belvedere . I think that there is a town called Belvedere near Burnley . Rose Hill is an important town in Mauritius . i have read that you have Rose Hill as well .

You're right, Dave.
Happy birthday, fella, it is always a pleasure to read your posts. Have a fabulous day.

Happy Birthday Dave. Have a great day!

It's my dog's birthday tomorrow. He turns 51 (in dog years).

I hope you all get your present tomorrow.

I wish to thank you all for wishing me well on my birthday . although may not know me personally ,i feel that i am attached to you all .I love the town of Burnley and its people . i do remember the Lord Mayor gave me a civic reception . I was accompanied by Frank Teasdale ,a very good friend of mine whom I miss .

Have a great day DaveManu! Apart from having a rubbish user name you are one of the finest posters on this message board and one of Burnley's most loyal fans.

May you have a long and healthy life. I'll think of you as we cheer the final whistle tomorrow.

Belvedere Road is adjacent to the ground. Quite a few posters come from the Rosehill area (including ClaretTony I think?) and many of us including me went to Rosehill School. Jimmy Mac lived and maybe still lives on Rosehill Avenue.

Always wondered why you followed Burnley, those are 2 great reasons.

Happy birthday Dave, 3 points tomorrow is your present

I have to clear once for all re my given name DAVEMANU . At home everybody calls me Dave . Manu is not Manchester United at all . Manu is a deity in the Hindu mythology .sO i PUT MY NAME dAVEMANU2000.
THE REASONS WHY i LOVE BURNLEY IS THAT IT WAS THE FIRST ENGLISH CLUB WHICH HAD PLAYED A FOOTBALL MATCH ON OUR SOIL . THEY PLAYED SIX MATCHES AND WON ALL . THEY SCORED 36 GOALS AGAINST TWO .At a certain time Burnley was the most popular here . My father and uncles were all Burnley fans . They came in 1954 and since then I am a Burnley fan .They played one more match against Madagascar . They beat them by 13-2 .
burnley pioneered English football in the islands of the Indian ocean .
Among the players who played in Mauritius were : Cummings,Shannon ,Mac Donald , Mac Ilroy ,Holden , >These are some names I still remember .

Elsewhere i send messages on the name of Mauritius Claret ,

happy birthday Dave and long may you remain healthy and are able to post on here for many years to come

A very happy birthday to you,pleased you are still a staunch Claret.

Happy Birthday Dave

Top fan Dave, have a good day tomorrow and if the team can give you a win tomorrow , i shall be thinking of you hopefully celebrating with a cold Phoenix
beer or two.

Thanks to all my well wishers . I shall always be a Claret fan .

Did the dancing bakers of Burnley make you a cake? See BBC News website.

Happy birthday Dave.

It would be great to see you back at Turf Moor soon Dave. Maybe for our first game in the Premier League next season? You would be our guest of honour!

Definitely I am coming to England next year .i shall be present on your first match at Turf Moor .

The birthday gift in form of a draw . No matter it weighs gold and I like it .

I knew that somebody would catch that. Well done, Wexford!!!

Happy belated birthday, Dave! You're my favourite Burnley fan of all time, including my own family.

DaveManu's birthday was the dawn of the most wonderful weekend ever to be a Claret.
Special man

Happy belated birthday Dave. One of my favourite posters on here and the previous site.

I've had two bottles of the fizzy stuff to celebrate your birthday weekend...and today's relegation
