Been announced that the former Portsmouth and Fulham midfielder has sadly passed away from a ‘long illness’ at the tragically young age of 42

RIP. Was a very decent midfielder back in the day.

Not been a good few weeks for former footballers has it.

Sad news. What a unit he was.

Sad news. What a unit he was.

Leading by a single goal against Fulham was always a precarious situation when you saw him start to amble up to the centre forward position with 10 minutes left.

 

[Tigger]

RIP, no age that.

Sad news that, seems he had a degenerative condition which attacks the nervous system. Was a proper unit in his prime. Seem to remember Cahill and Arteta having a few good battles with him.

That was I. And I thought the exact same thing. As I genuinely haven’t thought of him since he played before that. Imagine outlasting such an athlete like that in the health department. I haven’t missed a breakfast roll morning since I was 12.

Sad news. Weren't we linked with him, back in the Moyesiah's days?

 

[Yarrgh]

Absolutely terrible news. All my best to his family and friends in this time. A great competitor, never hid, a very good pro and a big pain in the backside when he played against us - RIP.
