A Vice President and life member of Wasps, Allan passed away at the grand age of 96. He was a true Wasp and many of us were treated or patched up by him over the years. In later years he was a great supporter, following the Wasps to Loftus Road and High Wycombe. One that sums up Allan was sent in by June Comley:

'An incident that sticks in the memory of Allan was at Repton Ave. Someone had swallowed their tongue at the far end of the pitch. All you heard was the players shout "Allan". From the front row of the VP stand he cleared the hoardings and sprinted down the pitch in his wellies.'

Allan requested that the funeral should be private family only, no flowers, any donations to Wasps Community Foundation c/o Malcolm Jones & Metcalfe, Berkhamsted.

Bob Collier, Vice President and former board member of Loftus Road Holdings plc (the holding company of QPR FC and Wasps RFC), passed away on 4th July 2018 after a long and hard fight against leukaemia.

Bob was a mighty fine Wasp -- on and off the field and in the back room -- and a back-row member of the unique Cambridge side that won all their games up to and including the Varsity Match itself, in the 1962/63 season.

Bob Collier's funeral details:

Thursday 26th July, at 12:00, St Bartholomew's Church, High St, Nettlebed, RG9 5DA.

The reception afterwards will be held at Bix Manor, Broadplat Lane, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 4RS.

Both Wasps will be sadly missed.

I am honoured to report that it was 'standing room only' at Bob Collier's funeral service - the analogy of the departure lounge featured in one of the eulogies appropriately for he and Sally were the most widely travelled people I have ever met - it was a good a day as these things can be.

My reason for contacting you (and as many Wasps as I can) is to let you know that I'm riding the Pru London to Surrey 100 on Sunday for Bloodwise (formerly Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research)

The last couple of years were made miserable for Bob and Sally by Leukaemia and I am dedicating my race on Sunday in Bob's memory. If anyone would like to give me some encouragement to help beat blood cancer I have attached a link below and will be indebted if you can pass it on

Help Bloodwise beat leukaemia
