I'm on holiday logging on to hopefully find some good news. This is a terrible shame.

RIP Percy. Gave it his all for the shirt. You can't ask more of a player than that. So sorry for his family.

Can't believe this. So so sad for someone so young. True to widnes and always gave his all.

RIP Chris.

Rest In Peace Chris.

Too young, too good. Thoughts are with John and the rest of the family and friends.

Very sad news, my thoughts are with his family. Played a big part in our championship winning season of 2004.

RIP Chris.

Terrible tragedy, so sad for someone so young. All thoughts with his family and friends. RIP Percy!

I spent some time with Chris and Sharon when we visited JD whilst he was playing for Widnes and he and Sharon stayed at my sons house whilst in Australia for JDs wedding. Lovely young man and a very good mate of JDs. Tragic news we are very upset to hear he had finally succomed to this horrible disease.
God bless you Chris R.I.P.

Awful news. 30 is no age to go.

Horrible, horrible disease.

RIP.

Shame.30 is no age to lose your life. Many thanks chris for that wonderful try you scored against w*re in our first season in super league win in yankie boy land.

I remember Chris leaving The Hornets and playing together for Golborne Parkside in the amateur days. He was, back then a quiet lad but always smiling. I remember him running head first into a defender and hurting his neck the ambulance took forever to come, enough time for us to get a good breather (we were losing) any way we won and joked he was the man of the match because without the rest we would have lost.



You're gone Percy but not forgotten. RIP fella, see you when i see you

I'll always remember Chris wearing his dad's old blue "Legion of Doom" shoulder pads when we played at Halton Hornets Under 11's! He was big enough then to wear his dad's old kit. Anyone who played with him as a kid may remember them!

He lived the dream playing for his home town club as we all did when we were kids, always destined for turning professional and will go down as one of those who got us back into Super League were we belong. He had a cracking season in 2001 and stood his own in Super League. You always want the local lad to do well and well he did. Always gave 110%.

Never a truer word spoken about him being a nice lad, not seen him for a few years but always had time for people. A true gent. Not only a credit to himself but to his family. Such a shame, 30 is far too young.

RIP Percy. You will be missed.
