Ted Dexter:

There was a wonderful 35 minutes of tributes to him from his playing contemporaries in the lunch interval on TMS...

can't see a link to a podcast yet but I've no doubt it will appear in due course...

Lots of mysterious messages on social media this morning but it would seem that Sam Oji has passed away...

I don't yet know the circumstances... I do know that Sam was a Christian so will be just fine where he is... but nonetheless can well understand why people will see this as "sad news", Sam was 35...

We already have a minute's applause scheduled at tomorrow's game, for Dave Bates, of course; maybe we can honour Sam at the same time, he served the Pitmen and other local clubs with great distinction.

Yes indeed, hopefully the club can honour Sam as well tomorrow.

Now confirmed officially... (though the tweet on behalf of Sam may be capable of being seen only by those who were following him on Twitter)

Plenty of tributes to Sam in the press over the weekend, and it was good to see Birmingham, and their opponents wearing black armbands yesterday.

Jimmy Greaves, 81... Legend, I think he invented "passing the ball into the net" which I've preached for many years!

Alan Mullery about to pay tribute on Radio 4...

Fine tribute here by Jeff Powell, proper journalism...

Len Ashurst, 82.

"As a player Lennie would have kicked his granny because he was a winner..."

What a legacy!

RIP Walter Smith a real football legend who commanded respect throughout the game... tributes pouring in and rightly so... but here's my usual comment when someone famous passes on - bereavement is sad and I pray for those who loved him... but death of itself isn't sad... (I've heard the usual "taken too soon" line - who are we to say how long we have?) - heaven awaits those who have trusted in Jesus - and to quote a comment I heard very recently - "many people see a hopeless end, but we have an endless hope."

He could teach some of these young whippernsappers a thing or two, as this obit says...

Remembering 'Big' Mick Johnson today, who sadly passed away five years ago.

A big man in so many ways, another in the Mr Hednesford Town FC Family who is sorely missed by many of us.
Raising a glass, cup or mug of anything to Mick today will certainly not be 'going too far.'

Cheers big man.x

Mick will always be missed by so many, a top top man, his allegiance to HTFC was never in question and his commitment will always be remembered.
Thoughts with you today Carol in this moment of remembrance.
