How sad. I remember the interview between Craig and Mark Lea shortly after Dale Roberts death, which highlighted what a caring person he was.discodunk wrote: Mon May 30, 2022 7:52 pm former player Craig Farrell passed away at a very young 39 years old,,,,i dont know what the cause was ...RIP![]()

Re: Former Players
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.

Re: Former Players
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?

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.

Re: Former Players
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.davealbon wrote: Tue May 31, 2022 1:32 pmThat was Michael Gash against Bath.Three of Diamonds wrote: Tue May 31, 2022 11:46 am Really sad to hear about Faz, he was a fine player.
