Mick makes his final journey to the SMH Monday 12th February 2024 between 1.15pm and 1.45pm. It would be great to see a decent turn out in the CFC car park,to give him a fond farewell on his way to the crematorium. Wear your Blue, he was a massive Spireite. Thanks,Dave.

Hi Nigel , I am one of the 6 helping to carry Mick's Coffin tomorrow and when I spoke with Linda she stated that there wasn't going to be a strict formal dress code and that people attending could if they wanted wear their Chesterfield shirts. Hope this helps.
Regards
Kevin

Thanks Kevin.
I've known Mick since 1967.
The day we started at William Rhodes together .
We became the best of mates.
I am proud to have known Mick, a better person there couldn't have been.
Even to the last always the same smile and looking on the bright side.
RIP my dear friend.
Regards.
Nigel.

Great turnout today. Crem was packed and loads couldn’t get in and had to listen from outside. Great send off for a top bloke.

I would say that Mick,and also very recently,John Wilkinson are prime examples of why we need to carry over the In Memoriam section to any new platform we move the board to.

!00% agreed.
These days without purchasing the Derbyshire Times, etc it would be easy to perhaps miss the sad passing of long standing fans.
Mick was a friend for 57 years.
John since the early seventies through my friendship to his brother Eric.
As was previously said the attendance at the crematorium yesterday showed the high regard and respect for Mick.
I will miss our chats and his infectious smile.
RIP Mick and John.

Agreed Lee, excellent turnout along with the wake.

RIP Mick, just a shame that Mick along with a number of other Spireites won't be here to see CFC back in the EFL.
