Genuinely shocked, and terribly sad. Met him through D&R, he did loads for me and the charity I was involved in 15 years ago, Chernobyl Children Life Line, he did a DJ set for them on their farewell disco after the children had spent a month here. It was after we lost 0-9 to Hereford in 2004.

I used to pop in and see him at the Party Shop he owned, just for a chat about football and life in general.

Met him almost every home game for many years, was invited but unable to attend his 'Celebration of Marriage' in 2011 but lost touch over the last couple of years. Tom and I did see hm at Goodison Park for the FA Cup game a couple of years ago and he looked quite well.

He had a young son, all I can do is offer my sincere condolences to his family and my best wishes.

Very sad indeed.

RIP

There was something in a recent home programme. I'm looking to see if I've got anything, but I don't think I have.
