Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,627 Posted August 1 Just saw this. I didn't even realise he had cancer, and it's quite sobering to think he has passed relatively young, especially when he was still working recently. RIP Shakey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Widely accepted amongst Leicester fans and the players at the time that the title winning success of 2016 was probably more because of him than Ranieri.

Google Bot 3,935 Posted August 1 Holy ****, poor man. Knew he wasn't well, but didn't have a clue it was that bad. Was speaking about him last night with a friend too. Condolences to his family, seemed a really top guy and a real shame things didn't work out here as it was probably quite a stressful time for him in the end. That's so very sad. 😞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were in real danger of going down when Ranieri was sacked, and Shakespeare became the only English manager in Premier League history to win his first five matches.

yellowrider120 918 Posted August 1 Beautiful tribute from the boy Pearson................... “It's difficult to put into words how I and indeed everyone who came across or worked with Craig will feel on hearing such devastating news. “He is without hesitation one of the most wonderfully talented, emotionally understanding, calm, balanced and outrageously funny people I've had the privilege of calling my friend. Safe journey to the next destination my wonderful friend. You are loved and admired by us all, and every time we think of you, a smile, smirk, chuckle or memorable occasion will come to us. We truly are the lucky ones for having known Shakey.” 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Vince 423 Posted August 1 Never met the man, but my impression was he was very highly regarded within the game, possibly as much for his human qualities as his professional abilities. A rare human being in a cut throat business. RIP Craig. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
