I’ve not seen this mentioned so apologies if it has. I was saddened to hear that Dick Edwards has passed away, many older pies fans will remember Dick from the 1960s he played number 5 I think in central defence.

I believe he also played for the Stags and Aston Villa. Once he’d retired from football he played the guitar and sang in local pubs and clubs.

Yes he did. I need to get my old programmes out but I'm pretty sure he played with George Smith in goal, Bert Loxley etc when my grandad took me to stand on Spion Cop in the early 60's.

I have to be honest, I didn’t know about this before now. I also don’t know much about Dick Edwards. He made 245 appearances and started his football career with Notts County.

This comes as a shock. It’s very sad news to hear.

Very sad news to hear. Rest in peace, Dick Edwards.

It’s a bit surprising that Notts didn’t say anything about it on the official site. He was such a big part of our club’s history. Aston Villa shared a tribute, which was respectful, but most of his playing days were spent with us.

Rest in peace, Dick Edwards. He’ll be remembered by many who watched him play.

Very sad to hear this news. He left the club before I started supporting Notts.

He had 9 years at Notts with 245 appearances & scoring 21 goals.

A man with a long service record at Notts, almost unheard of nowadays.

Rest in peace Dick.

@Countyman, Notts did pass on Aston Villa’s message through their social media, so they did show their respects in the end.

Rest in peace, Dick Edwards. He’ll be remembered fondly.

Rest in peace, Dick Edwards. He should be remembered for everything he gave to Notts County.

I've found a couple of things that maybe are worth remembering even as we contemplate a new reign.
