    Oh Lord, what a shame.

    He used to get some stick regarding his weight etc....but he took the banter like a true sportsman, with a wave and a smile.

    A nice guy !!

    Fatty Hesford? Gone?

    That is tragic. I am more gutted than I was watching his flapping cost us a goal in the first play-off leg away at Gillingham.

    I loved the bloke because he was a tremendous stopper, but couldn't jump more than about 6 inches off the ground for corners :)

    RIP Iain

    I remember one night in a pub in Shincliffe, Durham. He was there having a drink and my mate who was a mag let down one of his car tyres on his car and Ian saw him and chased him with a pool cue, caught him and started hitting him with the pool cue, it almost turned into a full blown scrap between the 3 of us. :smile:
    RIP Ian.
