For many of you on fanfooty, Elxam was a friendly poster on the forums, giving sound advice to the dreamteam world. For me, he was my boss and a great friend. He loved his dreamteam, and managed to finish 50th overall in this years competition.
He had been feeling unwell for the past week, visiting the doctor on a couple of occasions, with the doctors diagnosing him with a flu. On Friday he was told that he was on the improve. This was the last time i saw him.
In quite sudden and shocking circumstances, Max Le passed away on fathers day morning, sadly leaving his wife and 2yo son. The cause of his passing is not yet known. He was aged 43.
Please keep your thoughts and prayers with his family
R.I.P Max Le
This is terrible news.
I feel extremely saddened by this loss, and thoughts are with his family most definitely.
Elxam was a valuable contributor to this website and will be remembered.
reconfig, let us know if any of us can help.
RIP

Likewise, this is shocking news, especially on Fathers Day. Elxam was a Coach, and we all kept an eye on how well he was doing in his DT, and followed him through his great achievement this year.
I'd like to echo Ossie's thoughts re if we can do anything to help reconfig... May he RIP.
shocking news
please pass onto his family we are thinking about them in their time of loss
maybe we can remember him with a memorial cup for DT/SC or something similar on the site
sad sad news RIP

I think that is a very good idea CFC. Perhaps a competition with an entry fee, with proceeds going to the family?
Best wishes to the Family of Exlam. You were a great contributor to this forum, your helpful advice will be missed.
Sad to hear. Was a great contributor throughout the year to the site. Many of us were following him hopinh he could go to top 20.
Have to feel for his family. Such a sudden loss won't be forgotten anytime soon. My condolenses to them and rest in peace Exlam.
Wow. Dont really know what to say. I always valued his oppinions when I was throwing idea's around. I wish the best for his family
Best Wishes with his family and r.i.p mate.. and that idea ossie and cfc seems like a good idea

The one that is fast filling up?

That's sounds like a good idea. The first ever Coaches league dedicated to a fellow coach :). Lets push for top 20 in both for his honour.
where do i join that league?
i think naming a league after him is a great tribute lets etch his name on here permanently
It's going to be a coaches league comprised of all the coaches of the FanFooty forum. This league will be named after Exlam to hopefully carry on his good name :).
ok, i want in :)
same :)

Unfortunately you need to be a coach to be in... It's been posted on the Coaches board. 1000 posts guys. Start posting!!
haha, i will start now :P
bit more of an explanation
when you hit coach ( 1000 ) posts, the coaches board opens up to you ( which you can't see now )
the DT SC league idea sits in there for coaches.
So the more coaches we get, the more leagues ( or divisions say 1, 2 ect ) we can get
currently both are full ( well 1 spot left in SC i think )
hope that helps out a bit
shocking news and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends
the tribute sounds like a great idea too and il definitely donate
R.I.P Exlam
@ reconfig, my thoughts with you my friend as I too lost my boss this year on the Thursday before Easter (Burkett non-Hodgkin lymphoma) :'(
As the flowers are all made sweeter
by the sunshine and the dew,
So this old world is made brighter
by the lives
Of folks like you
RIP Max, all our thoughts and love go to family and friends.
Keep an eye over our posts mate, you will always be with us.
Posted this in the FB and will have a drink for him tonoght, cheers Max.

Once you get to the 1000, you open a "Special" place where you can put your name down :).
Think we will likely have quite a few leagues running for him :).
799 more posts to go.
must... make..... it...... to...... Exlam......... memorial...... league
shocking and so sad to hear
Exlam u sounded like such a great bloke, will be sadly missed mate
fanfooty will not be the same
thoughts go out to the family, anything we could possibly do for them?
yea very sad news. best wishes to his family.
hope i get 1000 posts in time to make a memorial league.
With respect to the man and to reconfig his colleague would everyone please start spelling his name correctly.
Elxam not Exlam :P
Stay premium
I always called him Exlam :D. Didn't seem to bother him :). Everybody got a nick name and we couldn't really think of one for Elxam so I started calling him Exlam to make it stick :). Then he was also going by Ex sometimes :).
Now that I think of it, We could of come up with a better Nick for him :'(.
I humbly acquiesce.
My comment was orientated at the posthumous remebrance of his status and the reverence that he held amongst coaches.
Nicknames are a fond way to remember someone and to banter about with mates. He was our mate and will be remembered by us all in different lights.
I have PM'd reconfig previously with a message tagged by my real name not my nickname to pass on my support.
I will call him simply Max.
Max effort, Max input, Max power.
Live your life to the Max, he would want that for us all ;)
Too true McRooster :).
mcrooster truly knows how to tell it like it is :)
mcrooster is the ff confucius :)
Exactly right BB. ;)
I really hope I can play in the 2011 memorial league.
We're looking for 32 Dream Team Coaches and 32 Supercoach coaches, and still have plenty of both.
Current format that is
put me down but im not a coach yet
At this stage you have to be a coach to apply BB. Fear not, only 775 odd posts to go....
45 posts to go YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will post everywhere and should get there at the end of the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
