He was one of the 1st players i ever asked to fill in my autograph book as a youngster in 1982 when i started going to BP. Always remembered him as having a pile driver of a shot in his time at the club. R.I.P. Russell. Sent from my GT-I8200N using Tapatalk

I think a fair few of us are around the same age as Russell Coughlin seems to be among our favourite players from our formative years.

I remember a tough tackling ball winner. Did he get a straight red in a home game - possibly for stamping/kicking an opponent?

Also do the club know and will they be planning something as a mark of respect? The home game against Plymouth would seem the logical option - I know officials from Plymouth have already contacted his family with condolences.
