What a nice fella..but he never shut up!! That was Sully.

Spot on - what a character!
I never knew him during the Mayne Line / Govner's days, but I was asked to help him produce his books - he'd call me every day asking for updates, when will it be ready? Plus the regular ''oh I forgot one more thing to add''
I recall one day when he asked when it would be ready and I replied ''a lot fucking quicker if you didn't call me every 5 mins!'' I asked the publisher why they gave him my number and the reply was so that he would stop calling them every day!
My favourite moment in the book was him going to the Hacienda. He wasn't a drinker and didn't do drugs at all. He was horrified in the Hacienda seeing rival fans from clubs from all over the place, dropping E's and having a love in together. He never went back! All he wanted to do was fight the fuckers and was appalled at seeing rival fans dancing together E'd up! lol

Sadly I lost touch with him when I moved to the US. A few friends tipped me off 2 weeks ago that he wasn't in good health and it was a matter of when....
RIP Sully x

What a character and also a great lad. He was always smiling and chatty. Top Blue, will be missed by many. X

One of the lads. Still got Mayne Line calling card. Very sad indeed. My condolences to his family.

great lad, always looked out for the younger lads when he was out.

I know his daughter well, truly devastated for her

You’re right about the drink. I used to drive to the away matches (not the Guvnors coach!!) and he sometimes drove my car so I could have a good drink. I even get a mention in his book (unfortunately for my drinking rather than my fighting abilities!). He was a lovely bloke, I can imagine him mithering you to death about the book though. 58 is no age for someone who didn’t drink much or smoke
