I am so sorry for your loss, Susan. Kevin was a fine man, a free-thinking journalist and beautiful writer. The two of us shared a house together at the 2010 World Cup and I treasure the memories of our long conversations, mainly about Celtic. My sincerest condolences.Joan McAlpine wrote
I worked with Kevin in the NI building when we were at The Times & Sunday Times. He was a lovely friendly colleague as well as being a great journalist. So sorry for your loss.Mick Dennis wrote
Susan, everyone who shared press boxes with him will cherish such fond memories of a gentle soul who made us smile and laugh — while cursing that he could write so darn well. It lifted spirits to see him in a crowded press room. I am so sorry that he was unwell and has now gone.Richard Buxton wrote
Really saddened to hear this. I was lucky enough to have covered games sat alongside Kevin in the press box and he was always friendly & helpful to a young journalist starting out on the front line. Spoke volumes of him as much as his impressive body of work. RIPTony Paley @tonypaley wrote
Kevin was a lovely guy who always had time for a chat when I worked with him at the Guardian. He will also be remembered for all his work for @StokeyLitFest in #StokeNewington where I last saw him. Fond memories; a real loss. My condolences.

Susan I’m heartbroken to read this. In my year as a Guardian trainee (06-07) Kevin was extraordinarily welcoming, kind & generous with his time + advice. He became a cherished mentor & friend for that year + beyond. Such a terrible loss – my thoughts & prayers are with you. David.Brian Groom @GroomB wrote
Susan, I am so sorry to hear this. Kevin was a truly brilliant sports writer and one of the loveliest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.Brendan O’Hara MP @BrendanOHaraMP wrote
Oh Susan, this is awful news. I’m so, sorry. Kevin was a kind, generous and endlessly fascinating man. He was also great fun and I fondly remember years ago back in Dennistoun, talking football, politics and wherever the conversation meandered. He’ll be sorely missed. Take care.John Cross @johncrossmirror wrote
Very sorry for your loss. Kevin was ever such a nice man. Remember our first long chat at a random game at Bradford what must be 20 years ago. We didn’t stop talking all game. That’s how I’ll remember him: such good company, such a nice man. Sending you every good wish.
