Alan Suddick RIP

[David Votoupal]

Sad news earlier this week, Alan Suddick passed away after losing a battle with cancer, aged 64.

Suddick played primarily for Newcastle United and Blackpool, winning promotion with both clubs. A much-loved and skilful midfielder who was an expert in "banana" free-kicks. One of many fine talents who didn't get a full England cap.

You can see some highlights of him here.
