Hope you don't mind me mentioning Snoots, but on this day 12 years ago Adam Stansfield died aged just 31.
He began his career at Plymouth before moving to Hereford United in 2004 and was part of the team that got us back to the Football League.
In 2006 he moved to Exeter City where I watched him a few times at St James Park when I lived there. In March 2010 after complaining of stomach issues he was diagnosed with colon cancer and despite an operation he died in the August. A foundation was set up in his name to raise awareness of this cancer and to help young people attain their dreams of playing football.
Just shows you how fragile life can be.
