It a real shame that the season has ended and we can't pay tribute to Kev. I hope the club arrange for something to be done at the next game played, however long away that may be.

Local boy dun good.
Was the best of his generation IMO
RIP  


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

It seems a long time ago now that I played in the same team as he did. I was never quite good enough to make the Wintringham First XI but got the chance to play in some house matches when we were both in the 6th form (me Upper and him Lower) so consider myself privileged to have had him as a team-mate (albeit for Raynor house and not anything better...the competition back then was pretty tough mind)

A year later though Kev showed his true potential when starting off with Town and what a star he was for us in the glory years of the late 70s and early 80s. I swapped my place alongside him for just supporting from the terraces but could appreciate soon enough that he was soon destined to go on to bigger and better things in his career.

This is such a sad loss at a relatively young age and in terrible circumstances...when a contemporary passes on it brings home how short a time we have to enjoy our days but Kev, I take my hat off to you (and your other local Town compatriots) as you in the Black & White stripes gave me and thousands of others some of the best days we can ever have wished for watching the club we love

My sincere condolences go to wife Mandy and the rest of his family....all in all a true club legend, a scholar and a gentleman has left us today

RIP Kevin Moore

Very saddened to hear this news. Kev was an outstanding player for us and a thoroughly nice bloke as well. My condolences to Kev's family.

Sad news indeed. To get such an awful disease at such a young age is just tragic and so unfair. Kevin was one of my favorite players in the great Town teams of my late teens and early 20's. I can see him on the field in my mind right now, first as a young full back and later as a truly magnificent central defender and leader of the team.My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Kevin
Condolences to Dave and the rest of his family
Abiding memory of this true legend is at Derby, the baseball ground.
1-0 down moving into injury time, i nip for a pee before getting on the coach home, get back just in time to see kev pick the ball up midway in his own half and drive forward.
The derby side parted like Moses parting the Red Sea and from about 30 yards out he blasted the ball in for a last gasp equaliser.
Cue mental scenes in the away end and Derby fans in the stand above us throwing things and spitting at us.

Superb Player and a true Ambassador for this club


That's always the moment I remember when anyone mentions Kevin, stood at the back and went barmy.

Such a shame.

Perhaps the best of that generation of local lads who made up the great team of the 80s.  RIP Kev.
