Not being at the Bolton game, I've only just seen from the the list of the departed Rovers family in the programme, that Mick's name was included.

Mick was a friend of mine for over 50 years, an excellent footballer, and posted on here as ravenrover.

He was living in Nottingham, and had been receiving treatment for melanoma. He sent me a PM a few months ago saying that the cancer had spread to his brain.

If it is him, I will be devastated. Could anyone from the club confirm this, so I can let some of his old friends over here in Donny know.

I knew he had some health issues from his posting but didn't think it was so serious. A measured and genuine presence on here who will be missed, if it is ravenrover. RIP Mick.

That’s so sad, he was one of my dad’s best pals, they played football together.
He also stuck up for me quite a bit on here after my dad had passed away.
I wasn’t aware of this, it’s sad news, my mum will be sad too

very sad news. Didn't realize he was Raven Rover or that he had been ill. I knew him from PJGS, local football and from working at British Coal. RIP Mick
