    He was playing football last night and it looks like a heart attack. So sad.

    Totally shocked at this. I went to school with him and shared an interest in American Football. We used to go and watch the Gateshead Senators regularly and even played a bit.

    He loved SAFC with a passion and that went into his journalism.

    RIP

    Never actually met him but spoke to him 7 or 8 years ago on the telephone. Seemed a good lad and wrote about the club well.

    Thoughts are with his family and friends.

    A new year, a new loss, very sad. Respect to his family, he will be missed, by many.
