The shocking news of the death of Butch has followed hot on the heels of other tragic local footballing news. 29 is absolutely no age at all.
During our Southern League Championship season he formed a dream trio in midfield Shaun Murray and Peter Fear. It was such a good trio that it could carry the likes of Lee Cowling and even Stevie Lenagh for lengthy stretches of the season. Of course we came up against him a couple of years ago when he played against us for Notts County. Even during the game you could here Poppies supporters being positive towards him and wishing we could get him back again.
Our condolences go to his family and friends. Truly, truly terrible news.
