    Macca was a fabulous player, one of the best to wear the hoops. It's extremely sad for him to die at such a young age but, for whoever saw him play at Loftus Road, he will live on in our memories.

    Very sad and a real surprise. Macca was one of the reasons I fell for this club, a formative hero. Rest in peace. My condolences to his family.

    Macca wasn't just a true legend he was also a colossus. He was a man who led by example and was always willing to give everything to the team.
    I was privileged to see most of his games for the r's and he never held back from any tackles.

    R.I.P Macca and condolences to your family and friends.

    True......we do all die. However, do you not find it a little tragic when someone dies so young?

    Totally shocked and gutted at this. A proper player and a great bloke. I met him a few years ago at a Mothers Day lunch. We both had sneaked outyside for a sneaky *** and got talking.
    Sincere condolensces to his family, RIP Big Man.

    I think my honouring of the man will be by buying the new seasons home shirt and having McDONALD 6 on the back, maybe the club could do this on all the players shirts a la Ray Jones for the Swans game???
