Such a young age to go, testament to the man for being in a hugely responsible position so early in a career. RIP.

Read at the age of 18 he sent a scout report of the Champions League final between Man Utd and Barcelona to every senior club in England and Scotland and got replies from Nottm Forest, West Ham and Celtic and Celtic hired him to do some scouting for them and his career progressed from their. Awful news, especially so young, RIP.
