One of the best Boro players ever to pull on the shirt. I loved him and even went to Roker Park to watch him play for England B

Well loved both in the Boro and Southampton— a true great. Let’s all remember his sensational playing career. Rest In Peace oh wizard of the wing.

What a shame. Great player, truly great. Many a game I just ended up watching him all match, even as a kid. True gentlemen as well.

Genuinely saddened and shocked when I found out tonight.

My favourite player as a kid. Was gutted when he left.

RIP Spike.

Gutted, the very first player I remember watching as a kid that stood out as very good at what he did. RIP Spike, forever Boro
