    My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Tragic lose to football. But I would like to thank him for what he did to our club and town. It was a fantastic journey that I was lucky to witness. RIP.

    Sad news, made our football club. Without him and Sir EJ we'd still be playing Rochdale away. Top top bloke as well......bloody disgrace he was never knighted as well

    Shocked and so sad at this.

    A true gentleman above all else but goodness, what a manager. The word legend is used too often these days but it couldn't be more appropriate for the wonderful GT.
