Never met Beastie but I used to love reading his post match recaps online. His recaps were so wonderfully put together and captured a beautifully manic away day experience from start to finish. His energy was infectious and despite never meeting him you felt his heart and character through the articles.
I was sad when I heard his news of his diagnosis and it left me deflated for a good hour or so.
Tonight I saw the news on Twitter and I cried on a bus half the world away from Sheffield. Incredibly sad and my heart goes out to his family and friends.
