Oh no, this is incredibly sad. 60 is no age to go these days.

I wasn't aware, but the BBC article says he had been undergoing cancer treatment since late 2023.

RIP Shakey. Part of a very special time in this club's history. Hope their is a tribute for him at the opening game.

This is really upsetting news.

He seemed like a really good egg, and delivered Leicester fans things they could only dream of.

He could have stayed in my house for as long as he liked.

Godspeed Shakey, and thank you.

This is deserving of its own thread, can a mod do something please.

 

[Miles Away]

Gutted to be honest.

 

[City Fan]

Shockingly awful news. I feel numb inside.

RIP Shakey. Leicester legend.

Rest is peace Shakey. The term ‘legend’ is bandied around these days to loosely cover someone who achieves something that can be minor or just fondly remembered. For some it is used to describe something as trivial as a stint at a place. Craig is truly deserving of the tag. A legend of this club for the part he played in the greatest thing to ever happen in the game. When I read the news I had a genuine sharp intake of breath, like something very special was gone and couldn’t be replaced.

God bless you Shakey. Rest in peace. This one hurts.

Really sad news and absolutely no age for something like this to happen. Aside from the awful human side of this, he was our manager for what, for me, was the greatest single Leicester match that I’ve been at. The second leg at home against Sevilla was so powerful and emotional that it’s one of those games you’ll never really feel again. RIP Shakey.
