Terrible terrible news. Like many of us, I have vivid memories of his magical play.

To this day (actually three days ago) I tell the story of the back-heeled full volley he scored against Glasgow Rangers at Ivor Wynne back in 1984. It was incredible and it left Rangers standing around with mouths open.

Sad sad news.

I'm really devastated by this story. I remember that over 5-months ago he personally forward an e-mail to me supporting "the return of the Toronto Blizzard campaign." He will be missed by all.

We remember. It's a very, very sad day.
