Ah that's sad, must still have been in his 60s. I know it didn't really work out with us but I was well excited when he signed.

RIP Tricky Trevor

That's a shock. Had he been ill?

I think he had a heart attack a few years ago.

RIP Trevor.

 

[blue for life]

A shocker! RIP. That was a great one season. People turned up just to see him! Think we had to sell him for financial reasons.

Nothing on Birmingham or Forest websites

This has been doing the rounds now for well over an hour, gathered some pace online but no news source has reported it yet. It has come from Viv Anderson on Instagram and spread... seems a bit odd
