Been debating whether to post anything, as i didn't know Liam personally, the only contact i had with him was on here and the occasional facebook interaction.

I always got the impression of him as a bit of a joker from his posts on here, a cynical type of guy who wasn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers if he felt he needed to...

The last 3/4 years it's been interesting to hear more and more about him as a coach however; he was obviously extremely dedicated to the sport and just as an outsider it was pretty impressive to see all the praise he got as he assembled a talented stable of fighters.

Judging by the comments i've read since his passing it's clear why he excelled - many have mentioned his commitment to his lads, and emphasised his bond and personal relationship with his fighters.

The fact that he has clearly had a genuine impact on many peoples lives is inspiring; lots have said how much of a nice guy he was too, i regret never speaking to him in person when we were in the same circles.

Sincere condolences to everyone who knew him and counted him as a friend, the circumstances sound so tragic, which makes it's harder to comprehend in many ways i suppose.

I feel for anyone trying to come to terms with his passing, and wish them all the best.

Rest in peace, Liam
