    One of the nicest men I've had the pleasure of knowing.
    I worked with Kev for over 20 years.
    So sorry for his lovely family.
    RIP mate,

    Dear me, 54 is no age. RIP Kevin.

    Another player I would have liked to have seen play for the lads.

    Also the young Millwall keeper.
    Tragic on both counts.
    R.i.P lads.

    Sad news. Very under rated striker in his day I think. RIP

    Very sad news. Always liked him as a player and came across as a great guy as well. His interview on Undr the Cosh a while back gave a great insight to what a gentleman he was.

    Another case of you never know what’s around the corner. Enjoy this life and don’t get too hung up on the irritating parts is what I say

    Awful news, his podcast with under the cosh is well worth a listen if anyone’s interested, his time in turkey was eventful to say the least!

    Always liked him as a kid. One of the players you just have a soft spot for and just enjoy watching. Him and Ian Wright up top for Arsenal is one of my earliest memories. Would’ve loved him here. He’d have been a good foil for SKP when Quinny retired. Not as tall but strong as an ox!
    RIP

    He did seem like a really decent bloke. Good striker. RIP.

    He always came across really well. He spoke very well and judging by the comments from ex team mates etc he is very highly thought of by anyone that knew him.

    I know we were linked with him historically and it was a shame we never got to see him in our colours.

    RIP Kevin

    RIP.

    No age at all, a really good honest player and a decent human being.

    It's always the good ones that go first

    Must be hard Bob. Especially when some are as young as Kevin
