  • First met Phil when our respective sons started playing playing football in the under 8s at Hughenden FC. A great bloke, and really saddened to hear this news. Thoughts go to his wife Val and their two sons. RIP.

  • Sorry to hear this news, RIP @ValleyWanderer

  • What horrible news. RIP @ValleyWanderer

    Thoughts go out to his family and friends 💙

  • A little reminder... especially with us all stressing over losing our manager.... that its just football... need to give our heads a wobble sometimes... we get so caught up in it all....myself included...

    A sad reminder of our own mortality and a reminder that football is just football.

  • Very sad news, for his family and friends and indeed a loss for those of us who only knew him through his measured posts on here.

    His regular posts on a prediction threads were always welcome. I might mark respect by putting a black boundary around the update for the Bolton game but I am not sure if that is what he or his family would want.

    If there is anyone who can advise, a direct message or a post on here would be appreciated.
