Dementia is a horrible and cruel condition. I hope he has plenty of support systems in place and gets all the help he needs.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

It’s a cruel cruel illness. I remember him from my earliest days at BP as a tough man in a team of tough men and now the poor fella can’t look out for himself.

We had Chris playing along side Kev Moore in a great defence.

Sad to hear about this our thoughts are with him.

He was brilliant for us. His head seemed to be a magnet for the ball. Might not be uconnected with his present condition.

Hopefully we'll get to understand these things better and can do something to improve the situation in the future. My sympathy is with Chris' family and freinds.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Chris Nicholl was class here, one of the best players I ever saw play for Town.

Sad news.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Kevin Moore and Chris Nicholl made a formidable defensive partnership. Not much got past their heads. Rather than state the obvious, I'll leave it at that. Very sad news.

The best central pairing in my time of watching town, Kevin Moore & Chris Nicholl.

I have the pleasure of meeting Chris a few years ago, when he was a guest of GTFC.  It was a chance meeting, I was parking my car in Brereton Ave, when this person smartly dress in a suit ask me, if I could tie his lace up on his shoe.  I knew who he was and walked and chatted to him as we made our way to the game.  He said then that his memory was deteriorating, and might not rememeber where he had parked his car.
I said after the game, I would walk him back to his car, which I did. It was a pleasure to be able to have a few minutes chatting away to a Town Legend.
I hope he has all the support he needs.
