The first away game in the Premier was as you will know at Middlesbrough Mick sat next to me, as we pulled into the coach park he asked if I would stand in the isle whilst he injected himself, some of the looks we got from other fans were quite amusing when he said don't worry guys it's only my insulin.
He was also massively into collecting Bradford City programmes and just had the odd ones missing from years of collecting, as you say a lovely guy.

Yes he'll be missed on Shipley Bantams away days. Mick used to be a race walker and represented GB at the Commonwealth games many years sgo. He had to give up race walking in the 1970s when he developed Type 1 diabetes. Lovely man.

Although I was originally from Baildon before I left for Uni, our paths never crossed. I left a very long time ago. Sounds as though he was a tremendous bloke. So sad to lose a good guy!

I have fond memories of Mick. Also from AE Turbines. As i recall his lad had trials with Everton ( i think) but his son was a staunch City fan too. RIP Mick
