Mick x
The support you gave me when I was younger will never be forgotten.
The laughs we had together, the holidays, the party’s, the advice.
I will always be thankful not just for the funny side but for the kindness you shared.
You were there for my wedding to Lesley and we both have such special memories, these go way back with Don and Mavis as you were a special friend to them too, so much more than we could say, you will be so sadly missed and in our hearts forever.
Hopefully you’re enjoying a pint at the bar in the sky.
Cheers Mick!
With all our love
Anthony & Lesley Milward X

Lots of memories. We will miss you loads. Geoff & Celia

So sad hearing this news. An absolute legend. I had the privilege to have had his company for many years in my pub (a great dancer by the way). You will never be forgotten 💔

Rest in Peace Mick. I had fantastic times going to watch the knightly Worksop on Sandy Lane with you, Tucka and my dad. We will Always follow the tigers and will cherish the time and laughter we all had! Thank you.

Mike was a such a great guy. I remember the juke box he had being passed up and down Thorpe Lea. When his daughter Julia and I used to play on our space hoppers outside their house. The times he was always at football cheering the team on.
He was a larger than life character and Gunthorpe have lost a real village legend.
My condolences to Andrea, Julia and his partner Pat.
Love from Ian x

We are so sorry to hear of Mikes passing. A more kind, funny and genuine man would be hard to find. We know he will be truly missed by all who knew him. We send our thoughts to all the family at this difficult time. Ian & Jane.

So sorry to hear this and thoughts with all his family. Such a character, always so positive and the heart and soul of Gunthorpe FC. Mick could make you laugh in any situation. Sleep well Mick

So sorry to hear this news. Grew up around so many characters, but Michael always stood out. He was a great storyteller and the source of some great stories himself. Love to Andrea and Jules, will remember him with a smile.

He was the most lovely , funny & genuine guy - our honour to have known him & having been part of the gunthorpe crew at that time RIP Mick lots of love from The Gloscat Girls Karen; Clare; Debs; Rach & Ali xxxxx

Sorry to hear about the passing of Mick Coney lots of fond memories of parties and gunthorpe events in the younger years thinking of his family at this time

What can I say. Really sorry to hear about Mick. I have very fond memories of your Dad Andrea and Julia. He was a massive part of Gunthorpe, such fun and provided lots of laughs. A great man that will be missed by so many. Sending love to you both. Very kind regards Chris Bellamy. X

We don’t forget the fun and laughs we had with Mick and Narra in ‘The Shed’ on their sessions and football days.

Dear Andrea and Julia - I’m so sorry to read of your dad’s passing. As you say, he was always friendly and smiling and I remember him with fondness. Always ready to volunteer when we were fundraising for the school - more years ago than either of us would care to admit.
My sincere condolences to you and all your families. Rest in peace Mike.
