Farcan hell. I remember he suffered from depression pretty badly. I hope that didnt get him

 

[SadShark]

WTF? That’s a shock. Only 40.

 

[carcharias]

I only saw him about a year ago maybe 2
He was running the kitchen at woollooware golf club.
He looked great... slimmed down heaps.

Never forget the game against the stains where the boys game him the last conversion.

Terrible news.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Wtf???
This was in June. I do not remember it being reported at all.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Wow.

RIP Lance.

All the articles I've seen have Lifeline details at the bottom which points to only one thing. His poor daughter found him.

The Mole reporting it was that Black Dog.

Life sucks.

RIP Lance

Wtf???
This was in June. I do not remember it being reported at all.

The website has hastily updated an old article from June with the news of his passing. Bad work by their online team. But it happened overnight.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

It seems it was due to depression.

How sad.

Typo I think BBB.

 

[King Ben]

Police saying no evidence of self harm more likely his shock death is a medical episode.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Very sad .Seemed a really decent man. He retired from Diabetes,I think. I wonder if that had something to do with it.

 

[Griffoshark66]

RIP peace mate. Shit news. Thoughts with his family.

 

[Generalzod]

That's shocking news, Wasn't he interviewed by Andrew Voss a few weeks ago talking about his career at the Dragons and the Sharks, he also was talking about his passion for cooking and owning restaurants .

A decent man, hard working footballer.Too young,far too young.
RIP Lance.
Help is available if that was the issue.Trouble is people keep worries and problems to themselves,and don't want to burden others.

 

[Eion]

Ah geez that is awful, only saw him a couple months ago at woolooware golf club where he ran the meals. Terrible, terrible news. RIP

 

[carcharias]

That sports dude Tim said some very nice things on the TV this morning.

Shocking news, still a young man. Condolences to Lance’s family & friends. I’ll remember singing for him in my Beer Hill days. That final shot at penalty v merged scum the highlight! RIP Big Red
