Very sad news. I enjoyed watching him play, best wishes to his family.

Always sad, when one of the players you grew up with, dies. Sad loss

What a huge shock, Mike always talked about Wire with me in Cons.
R.I.P Mike

Very sad news. A great bloke, Mike. I know his brother and nieces well. R.I.P. Mike.

Terrible news, R.I.P Mike.

This is very sad news to hear, Mike Kelly was one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet. He coached us at Laportes for a couple of seasons, both Mike and Peter made playing and training really enjoyable, well apart from the bleep test which you introduced us too Mike lol. Thats how good a coach Mike was, he introduced us to modern methods as the bleep test was a new thing back then, he improved all our fitness levels which made us enjoy the game a lot more.

My thoughts go out to Mike and to all of his family and friends.

RIP Mike

Watched Mike many times from The Fletch. RIP

As a Saints fan I would just like to pay my respects to Mike, I knew him before he signed for the Wire, I think he played soccer then. A real gent my condolances to his family and Friends.

Very sad news RIP Mike and condolences to his family

‎"I am truly shocked and deeply saddened"! Mike Kelly was a true friend and an absolute gentleman both on and off the pitch. I was fortunate enough to play for a number of teams that Mike coached and remained friends when we both hung up our boots, (yes Mike used to pull his on now and again at Laport and was fitter than anyone else on the pitch). I thouroughly enjoyed every second i spent with him, both as a player and as a friend and will remain forever indebted to him for that.The world has lost someone very, very special today, my family and i are struggling to come to terms with this sad news. RIP Mike..... Your mate Baldrick!!!

Very Sad News R.I.P Mike thoughts are with your family.

Very sad news. Sincere condolences to Mike's family.

Absolutely gutted what an outstanding man.

Like Mike and Rob he was my coach at Laportes,and he was the kind of coach any player would have ran through walls for. I was gutted when he stopped Coaching to spend time with his family.

I never enjoyed playing as much from that moment on.

A top top bloke can't really say any more at the moment.

A fine player with real talent. One of those lads whom, had he had a 'big name' would have been recognised at higher levels. Always dangerous, with a turn of speed to surprise, and a sound defender despite his beanpole physique. Sadly missed.

I would have thought a minutes silence on Saturday.

Watched him play many times.

R.I.P. Mike Kelly.

I agree 100% with that, Mike was the kind of person that anyone would warm too.

His knowledge of the game was incredible, i remember being star struck when Mike first came down to training as i knew he was part of the Warrington side that beat the Australian tourists, within a few minutes of us meeting him the nerves had gone and i felt totally relaxed, Mike made everyone feel as though you had known him for ages, that was down to him being so down to earth and such a friendly and approachable person.

Bick, remember the first time that Mike brought the Ghetto blaster blaster down to training, with us not knowing what it was for i thought we was in for some kind of saturday night fever dance routine on broomfields that aided rugby players with their fitness lol .....I remember asking him has he got any U2 or Bon Jovi, he just smiled as he knew what we was in for with the bleep test but we obviously didn`t lol .......

Mike brought the best out of people, he had a talent for that. As fans we all like to think that we know a fair bit about rugby league, you realise how little you know until you have had the pleasure of meeting someone like Mike Kelly.

Sad loss for the warrington rugby league family.

R.I.P

How old are you Rob?

One of only a few to have his own brick on the Bevan wall. "Mike Kelly Wire Flyer". Sorry to see you go pal. I missed you for many weeks at St Stephen's mass. Only asked about you 2 or 3 weeks ago. God Bless.

how comes we never had a min silence?

It could have been too much emotionally for Mike`s family to deal with at the moment, remember he only passed away on thursday so they will still be grieving.

I`m sure the club will pay their respects at the right time as well as the fans being given the chance to say thanks to Mike.
