Very sad news, condolences to his family.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but back in November 1971, I seem to remember that he not only played against Argyle for Rotherham as a Substitute on the Saturday, but he actually scored a late winner for them in a 4-3 game. He then signed for Argyle on the Monday.
A very reliable player who was comfortable on the ball but perhaps lacked a yard of pace, which is probably why he played for Argyle in the old 3rd Division rather than at a higher level.
