Only 44 years old, no age at all.
A wonderful midfield dynamo, played his heart out for this club (and no doubt the others he played for) and was part of the winning Littlewoods Cup team in 1988.
RIP.

Always sad to hear of someone passing away so young. Apparently he'd just had the all clear from cancer too?
RIP

Can't remember him ever having a bad game, and he was never a thug on the pitch despite some hard tackling. Nothing like the prima donnas of today either - he really played for the enjoyment first and the money second. It's a shame there weren't more like him!

As many have said of him, he was a man of small stature but with a huge heart. Found a beautiful tribute video for him on youtube that just abouts sums him up, in photos and with videos of playing:
His goal at 1:40 beautifully sums up his love for the game and for the fans that cheered him. RIP, Mini...
