JamesHarris 390 Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) It is with much sadness to learn this morning of the death of Phil Spence (Spensites) following a long and brave battle against cancer. Phil was one of the pioneers of the Midland Development League in its early days providing websites free of charge for Long Eaton, Coventry-Mercia and the Castleford Kings. He was also a sponsor of several junior riders. His enthusiasm and tireless online promotion of the MDL was key to it's early success. Nothing was too much for Phil and all of his MDL club websites were often updated on a daily basis at his own time and expense. Probably not known to many outside the junior ranks, Phil will be greatly missed by those that knew him. A genuinely nice guy and one of the sports unsung behind the scenes hero's. Rest in peace mate. Laurence (Main Man) if your'e reading this maybe it would be a fitting tribute to name this years league trophy after him?
