Notts County strength and conditioning coach Mike Edwards is leaving the club. ‘Eddy’ enjoyed two spells with the Magpies, racking up well over 300 appearances and forming an important part of the backroom staff in recent seasons. And the former Magpies captain, who was part of Steve Cotterill’s side that lifted the League Two title in 2009-10 and went on to enjoy a testimonial year, paid tribute to the supporters for their backing throughout his career at Meadow Lane. “This place will always have a special place in my heart and the supporters are one of the main reasons for that,” he said. “I’ve got too many special memories to mention but I have absolutely loved my time at Meadow Lane. “Th

Bob Crookes, one of the last surviving Notts County players from the famous “Lawton era” in the 1950’s, has died after a short illness at the age of 94. He remained in good health until the last few weeks of his life and his passing comes as a shock to his family and many friends.
