"Indeed. Unfortunately my travel schedule meant I couldn’t get back in time, but Skerrit informs me there were easily 500+ people there, standing room only and the service was really nice"

"I first met Lee in 87 I think it was, so we go way back and were very good friends. After moving overseas I obviously didn't see him much at all and the contact faded out, I heard and read on FB etc that he had become a bit ''connected'' which surprised me a bit, as back then he just had regular jobs, mainly in sales and finance, so someone he found a way of working within football, albeit U think pretty much on the periphery. I've learnt more since his passing about the background of his demise and to be honest it's pretty sad, so obviously won't share on here, but let's just say that Lee lived for the day. Will take a bit of sinking in this."

"I‚Äôm absolutely devastated to hear this news. I knew LoR for a long time and he was a top bloke, very generous. Like Joe C, I have a story that sums him up. A few years back he called me. ‚ÄúYou ever been to the player‚Äôs awards?‚Äù I hadn‚Äôt. ‚ÄúWell, I‚Äôve got a place for you on my table next to a player‚Äù He wouldn‚Äôt take a penny for the ticket. Turned out I was next to Javier Hernandez who was an absolute cսnt (I‚Äôm pretty sure LoR knew this and put me next to him on purpose!) but we had a great laugh. LoR always had a story, always put you at ease and couldn‚Äôt do enough for you. I will miss him."
