Great memories, Tony, thank you. Another sad loss to the world. Rest in peace.

RIP Tony, loved your sig so much as a 12-13 year old I adopted it for myself for a year or two.
Loved your style of play and down right cheekiness..top man by all accounts

Keep dropping them goals between the pearly gates Deany

Such a sad loss. I loved watching Deano and Kev Harkin play. Proper, cheeky, handful's they were.

Scrum halves are born, not created. RIP and God Bless.

Very sorry to hear that. i'm from Cas and partnered Tony at half back in our early days. Sad that i lost touch, such a great bloke and his success never went to his head. RIP Tony mate

oh to even have a scrum half with half his ability at the moment. we were actually blessed with 2 great scrum halves at the time - kevin harkin as well. RIP TD. How old was he? seem to remember him being well into his 30s at the time of the 82 final

RIP mr dean pretty shocked at the news i was only talking to a lad who is a friend of his son and is struggling as well.

Kept us in the First Division with Keith Hepworth after Caey jumped ship.If only Terry Reagan has passed the ball to Gary Pearce in the semi they'd have led the team out at Wembley too.

Great player for us - a "cheeky" scrum half. of the type sadly lacking in todays' sanitised game.
His performance in the 1982 replay should be recognised as a great halfback display.
RIP mate - a great "cheeky" scrum half !

it used to be great watching him and andy gregory facing off in some of those huge encounters, their speed of thought was vital to unlock defences which only had to go back 5m, as well as having to deal with contested scrums and the constant 'battles' with the referees to get away with feeding - we'll never see their likes again

Sue,my thoughts are with you.Tony was a wonderful man as well as a bloody good rugby player.Take care.xxx.

Shocked & saddened at this news. Lovely bloke. great character, & a cracking player,
never ever gave anything less than 100%.
Deepest condolences to his family at this sad time
R.I.P Tony

Thoughts are with his family & friends, R.I.P.

T'was agreat night rammed in the kop end at Elland Road.
Gone but not forgotten.

Was talking to one of his friends last night, he was 65/66.

RIP Tony

Another great character taken from our game, him and Toppo up there in heaven and still better halves than we have!

RIP Tony, you've battled for so long
