Died last night after returning home from the Notts County game. Had major problems with a brain aneurysm a few years back so could probably be linked to that, as well as having recent time off with illness. Only 53, too young to go, definitely.

RIP. A legend in lower league football and will be sorely missed.

Yeah just read about that, it's an awful shame.

He was our most recent successful manager too before he left so a bit of a legend around these parts.

RIP.

[Bun]

wow that's awful, RIP. :(

[Cheryl]

he was at POSH for a while, great manager and fans man, first full time black manager in professional leagues when he went to Lincoln. Will be sadly missed

[Arron]

even worse he was still a manager at the time of his death, he'll be mightily missed amongst those players and fans, r.i.p
