    Kev died yesterday. Anyone who listens to football heaven will know him as the regular Thursday caller Kevin

    Was he the quite softly spoken chap, not strongly opinionated and mainly quite positive ?

    I know it is often over done but Kev deserves a tribute from the fans. For those of you who don't know him he has followed the reds for many years and was one of the chief organisers for the Royston legion in the 80s when interest dropped he would drive the mini bus. Spent many fun days with him but feel I will be missing out on many more.

    Used to go with the Legion to away games in the 80's. Particularly remember Cambridge away in the cup when we stopped off at Newark on the way back, and the Southampton match away in the cup.
    Top lad Kev, RIP

    RIP Kev. I didn't go with the Legion much but it was always a good laugh when I did. Had a cracking sesh at Yarm once on the way to Middlesbrough and I'll never forget getting chased back to the minibus at Palace. It had been moved at police insistence and none of us knew where, but the Palace yobs seemed to.
