Steve Fox RIP. 1958 to 2012. Vale legend
Just had to post a comment on a forum that would allow me. I am a Forest fan and will never forget Steve playing for Wrexham against us in the FA cup at the City Ground. He was absolutely amazing that day, and I have never forgotten his performance even after all these years. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. Best wishes to his family. God Bless Steve.
