Just heard the tragic news about the passing of Macclesfield midfielder Richard Butcher just before his 30th birthday.
I've seen Richard play on a number of occasions for Macc, Lincoln, Peterborough and Notts County over the years and, while it would be wrong to say I knew him well, I will say that he appeared to be the consumate professional on the pitch and was a decent, pleasant guy to talk to.
My condolences go out to his friends, colleagues and especially his family.
I've set up this blog (Monday-Friday) to give extra coverage to teams I cover for the national press. Any views and opinions are all my own. Best wishes, Jeff. Follow me on Twitter and I'll update you each time I blog. http://twitter.com/JeffTaplin P.S. During the summer break I reserve the right to ramble on about anything and everything!
