How sad. I remember the interview between Craig and Mark Lea shortly after Dale Roberts death, which highlighted what a caring person he was.

Very sad news this, was a very important part of that 09/10 season and some memorable goals! Always seemed a good guy which is confirmed with all the tributes from ex players on socials.

Really sad to hear about Faz, he was a fine player.

Was it him who scored 4 in an 8 - 0 rout of Gateshead or someone, at NP?

That was Michael Gash against Bath.

Just terribly sad news, Faz was someone you knew would put in 100% every game, and came across as a really likeable bloke.
First Dale, then Justin and now Faz gone from that incredible team that got us into the playoffs, and gave us a season to remember in amongst many years of struggle. 😢

Indeed. I remember those couple of 6 goal away performances at Barrow and Hayes that season, with Craig scoring a brace in both of them.
