Thoughts are with him and his family. Seems a total gent and his love for this game of ours is unquestionable.

Life is so very fragile -  I echo the sentiments above.......always comes across as a gentleman and a person devoted to the game.
My thoughts go out to him and his family

A mate of mine met him when he was here and said he was an extremely nice bloke. Hope he pulls through.

Not a fan of his short spell here or his punditry on his radio but terrible for his family so hope he pulls through.

I heard the news late last night or early morning (I think I was dozing with Talksport on). I think they used the term 'massive heart attack' unless I imagined that bit. Like many others I heard him on Talksport only the other day. He seems decent, genuine and knowledgable and I wish him a full recovery. Wasn't it BFR who nicknamed him 'The Crab' for his sideways passing habit?
