Sad way to be mentioned. But I did always wonder what happened to him?

Celebrities to turn out for Andy Barnes memorial game
By David Rimmer
FORMER EastEnders star Phil Daniels and Royle Family actor Ralph Little will join a host of Blues from the past for the second Andy Barnes Memorial game.
Bishop’s Stortford fans have organised the charity match to be staged at Woodside Park on May 4 (Bank Holiday Monday, KO 3pm).
An all-star XI will face a Blues Legends XI with the proceeds going to the British Heart Foundation.
One of Stortford’s biggest fans, 34-year-old Andy died suddenly on February 20, 2007.
The club held a memorial game that May, with two teams of Stortford players facing each other.
However this time, it will be a combined team of Stortford old boys facing stars from screen and football.
Several Rhodes Avenue veterans have already confirmed they will be stretching their ageing legs for charity.
Billy Harrigan, Tony Mercer, Pat Jackman, Pedro Petrou, Lee Burns, Tony Comerford, Ian Hollamby and Devon Gayle will all feature, with the goalkeeping duties likely to be shared by Gavin King and Martin Taylor.
Among the players for the all-star team – which is being managed by Bishop’s Stortford Swifts boss Micky Nunn who is a regular in the Arsenal ex-pro & celebrity team – are expected to be Robbie Gee who starred in Mean Machine and Snatch, plus Patrick Robinson from the hospital drama Casualty.
Ex-Stortford, Queens Park Rangers and Rushden & Diamonds midfielder Stuart Wardley will also face some of his former Blues team-mates.
Nunn is also hoping to include former world boxing champion Terry Marsh, ex-Wimbledon FC star Dean Holdsworth, TV star Tommy Walsh and freestyler Paul Wood.
