I loved Kev, I can't imagine anybody not loving him.
I don't know how he did it but, even when that right winger was quicker than him, he seemed to be able to stop them getting around his vast frame, and all within the rules, more or less.
A sad day for the SCFC family |  |
| Proud to have been one of the 231 |

Devastated to hear of the sad loss of big Kev.
A lovely guy who played such a big part in our early rise towards the premier league. As tough as they came in defence, but never dirty.
Rip big fella. |  | | |

Do the club have a minutes silence planned on Wednesday? |  | | |

Terrible news. A lovely genuine sincere hard working professional in the truest sense of the word and through that hard work he made a good career for himself as a reliable solid defender going on to win a few International caps.
Thoughts are with his family â¤ï¸ | |

I still can’t quite believe this news. R.I.P YJB. |  |

Just posted in the match thread as I hadn't seen this.
Yep, still a shock even after his diagnosis last year (pancreatic cancer being the b@stard of all cancers).

Some lovely memories here;
https://www.swanseacity.com/news/lot-people-divide-opinions-he-didnt
Particularly liked this from Robbo, from just before he joined the Swans;
“It was late in the game and Kev was shielding the ball in the corner to run down the clock,” Robinson recalls.
“I remember thinking ‘I’m not having this’. I ran over and tried to smash him, but I just bounced off and ended up doing my knee ligaments."
 Sums up Kev and sums up Robbo
All so sad and unfair... |  | | |

It's rare in football, and indeed life in general, for any one person to be held in what amounts to universally high regard, but that seems to be the case with Big Kev.
And it's not just rose tinted views, or "let's be nice because he just died" nonsense either. I've been thinking back a lot to those days and even at the time he was here as a player pretty much everyone rated him to some extent, even if others were not as respected. That's a f*cking rare thing indeed.
A massive loss. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

The good ones always seem to be taken early, gutted at this news. Peace be your journey big Kev. |  |

Your comments are undeniably true.

Absolute gent to talk to.
Really loved watching him defend Not many got past- could park the bus on his own!!
Have a lovely photo of him with my kiddies.
Never really heard a bad word about him from other players- normal whining aside.
Legend is an overly used word nowadays, but in Big Kev's case, I think it applies.
Taken too soon.
Sincerest condolences to all friends and family
Lots of love YJB.

I don’t know how this past me up until now. Shocking to hear this. His song was probably the first I learnt when starting to follow the swans.
Rest in peace big man | | | |
