Sad to see ex-Gills coach Alan Hodgkinson has died aged 79. I doubt many will remember him, but he was coach here under Gerry Summers in the late 70s. Gills missed out on promotion in 1979 by a point. Always struck me as one of the good guys.

79 was my first year in Medway and whilst I don't remember him its always sad to hear about the passing of a Gills family member>
