Local lad too - went to Thomas Telford School up by me. No mention on cause of death though.

Whatever the cause, 32 is tragically young.

Turned into a solid lower league centre half. Break your nose type. Such a young man, relatively. Very sad.

Very sad news indeed. So very young and clearly very well regarded at Yeovil Town.

No age at all, so sad.

RIP & thoughts & prayers to his family.

He had an incredibly promising early career - think his stand out game for us was in the FA youth cup against Southampton’s youngsters when he excelled.

a very sad loss, rest in peace.

Knew him at school. Thoroughly decent bloke and a great footballer.

Tragic

Indeed, good man.

No-one should suffer alone and mental health issues are far more accepted in society nowadays - particularly in these strange separated times.

We are all somewhere on the spectrum.

We've come a long way the last few years about having a more open debate about mental health issues (especially with men) but there's still a long way to go.

Just been reading the full story. Incredibly sad and tragic.
RIP Old Son.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I don't remember him at all but took notice when I saw in the reports that Wolves was his first club. Such a terribly sad story. Obviously a decent player but with problems. So, so sad. RIP
