Just seeing this.

A decent honest player as I remember. Wishing him all the best in his recovery.

Yes, sad news.

He was a brilliant player. A really hard-working tricky winner who had a fine mix of work ethic and skill. Quality.

We had so many quality players in the 1980s we couldn't fit them all in. Tony was also smart: spoke Russian, I believe.

….he was terrific, old fashioned winger who’d deliver excellent crosses from the bye line. Like Dave Thomas, another of the socks down brigade.

Pretty much the same age as me, I really wish him well.
