A real shock to hear that this former Hatter has just passed away from cancer, aged 56:

One of Danny's key signings for the 1990/91 campaign that saw County promoted from the fourth tier. The goals Neil scored, especially towards the tail-end of that season (including two in the final game against Scunthorpe at EP), were absolutely crucial.

Such sad news. RIP, Neil.

That's terrible news, and at no age at all. He was a massive part of that 90/91 promotion side, this has come as a real shock.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and anyone else that knew him.

RIP, Russ and thanks for those important goals.
