Thats really sad news.
My memories of Halsey stretch further than most.
He was the ref when City beat Gillingham @ Wembley in the play off final of 99 (you remember, the one where Dickov equalised after being 2-0 down going into injury time!)
He was loved by City fans and still gets a cheer when its announced he is reffing home games.
He came to JB's bar soon after the p.o final to discuss his career and the game in general.
Despite being from the south (QPR fan), he resides in Bolton and i for one wish him all the very best in his battle.
Good luck.
