Such sad news, 56 is hardly any age to go. Mickey was in the team for the first match I ever saw (Aston Villa Away League Cup 2nd leg October 1992). Back in the Conference days there was an Oxford United lottery and I won an afternoon at the training ground one Summer over at Kidlington (or Kirtlington I'm not sure). After watching the first team training, everyone was back at the clubhouse for lunch, and the players were in one half of the room and the manager and back room staff on a separate table, so I had lunch with Chris Wilder, Mickey Lewis, Kelvin Thomas, Les Robinson, Chrissy Allen. (Les and Chris were also in that same side vs Villa and I mentioned it, and Mickey remembered the score).
Over the last 12 hours I've read many tributes from the class of 2010, some had probably been on a pre-season to Scotland where Mickey was the minibus driver for half of the squad. There seems to be a special bond amongst that promotion team that perhaps isn't there from the 2016 players that got our next promotion.
