Some of you may be aware of him as the guy that compiles basically the greatest compilation of football stats in the UK, sadly died of cancer.

    I am regular visitor to this site and I knew that his death was imminent. Indeed, I was going to post on here if no one else did. His website was truly the oracle of all football statistics - particularly, for those interested in non-League football. There are plans for a group of enthusiasts to keep up his fine work. It is easy to refer to something as outstanding, but his website was exceptional.

    Tony Kempster RIP

    Sad news - he had one of the few websites that was both unique and indispensable. I hope his regulars can carry on his work.

    I will think of TK every time I turn on my computer, because his site was always my first visit of the day. Vey sad news and a great loss to the football fraternity.

    I love his website, Tony Kempster's site represents good things about football, and he will be very sorely missed, not simply by non-league folk but by us all. RIP Tony and thank you.

    Always made a point of listening to the non league show and Tony Kempster will be sorely missed.

    I wrote about him recently on my blog. Tony's site was an unbelievable resource and I used to trawl through it regularly for hours. I too hope others can continue his magnificent legacy.

    RIP Tony.

    By the way he ran a blog which documented his failing health. As one would expect he wrote bravely and honestly.
