“He came to the club to visit the stadium and training ground and had been talking to the lads to say ‘hello’.“So he was definitely a part of us and we feel like we are missing him.“I spoke to him in the lead-up to him signing, he asked me about the club, about the dressing room, is he going to fit into the team, what the gaffer is like. “He asked about the city and obviously I only said good things. He was looking forward to it.“But it is not just me finding it difficult, even though I had a personal connection to him.“I don’t feel more sad than the other lads, everyone feels sad, the whole club.“The whole community is sad, the fans never met him, but what they did for him was remarkable, we will never forget that.”
