Very sad news, one of the best fullbacks i have ever seen. Would tackle anything, safe as houses under the high ball. A very brave fullback who got quite a lot of injuries by putting his body on the line week after week. R.I.P. Mick

Such a shame.... LEGEND

Sad news indeed. RIP Mick and thanks for the memories. Am I right in thinking he is the first of the 1981/82 championship winning team to pass away?
