Very sad news, so young to lose him. The only good thing is unlike too many footballers of a certain age he did not die of dementia

Arguably one of the most underrated players of his generation
Him and Bobby took Ipswich to places they'd never been before...or since actually.
Would probably have got more recognition if he hadn't been about the same time as Keegan
