I was on my way down to the local Spar listening to Radio 5. They were rambling on about the days cricket scores or something similar. At the end of the sports round up the presenter casually mentioned that Joey had been killed in Estonia. He said it in such a non-important way that I wasnt sure whether he really said it or I had dreamt it.

I got home and checked ceefax and sure enough it was true.

Writing this now im getting choked up, to me he was the greatest sportsman of our time.

I miss you Joey.
