Super Kev: a goal machine, a giant of a man, with an even bigger heart. An intensely private and a truly wonderful human being. I’m devastated for his loved ones, and all of us. Love you Super Kev, Skipper 💔🙏🏻 https://t.co/ZJ6f57yK2b
Like many, Kev's death will be difficult to take in. A man who was larger than life, up at the crack of dawn with a " how's everyone doing", he was funny, incredibly polite and always great fun. To Kev's family, I can't imagine your loss or pain but hopefully you'll be… https://t.co/Wi9RWO77hG
