Micky Stead

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

We have just spoken to Micky Stead's wife Tracey who informs us that Micky (341 apps 1978-85) has had a serious operation on a blood clot in his leg. After two weeks he is now out of ICU and is very poorly, but making slow progress. If you would like to pass on a message to Micky please put it on this thread - all messages by 6pm this Sunday will be passed on to Tracey to read out to our former full back hero.

I remember speaking with him after an away trip to Torquay, I think. We shared a train journey back to London, a really nice guy and a very decent player so I'm hoping he will get through this crap, carry on and live a good life. Be well Micky.

A great guy and a great full back ....get well

I remember Micky, true blue and 341 appearances is a mad stat !
Wishing a speedy recovery mate

 

[Rob Noxious]

Happy memories of Micky's great defensive displays in the Dave Smith era and beyond - I hope he makes a full recovery.

Great little player for us. Get well soon mate.

 

[Barling Magna]

Very best wishes for a full recovery Micky. Once a Shrimper always a Shrimper.

I have memories (probably wrong) of Micky scoring an absolute corker from outside the box into the South Bank (goal obviously). Stalwart for us and I’m adding to the list of very best wishes.

Speedy recovery Micky. Didn’t have the privilege of watching you pull on the shirt but 300+ appearances is incredible. A great Shrimper. All the best.

Wishing him a very speedy recovery - he used to alternate with Dave Cusack in coaching the team I used to play for and was a really good guy.

Get well soon Micky!

 

[Pak Power]

Years ago I used to have hay fever injections every Saturday morning between late Jan and early March in the hope it would reduce my very severe symptoms in the summer. I also had to wait in the waiting room for about half an hour after each injection just in case of a reaction.

One Saturday morning, after a Friday night match, I came out of the surgery having had my injection only to find myself sitting face to face with Micky Stead. I was probably not even a teenager at that time, and I think from my reaction it was pretty obvious that I was a massive SUFC fan, and a fan of Micky's in particular! I sat there completely tongue tied for about 20 minutes until he was called in! I can't believe I never asked for his autograph.

Please pass on my best wishes to him and his family.

One of the very best right backs to pull on a Shrimpers shirt, best wishes to him.

An integral part of one of our best-ever teams. A title winner, SUFC doesn't have many of those.

Speedy recovery.
