Bill Curry Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) RIP - Jamie... https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/ex-derby-county-footballer-dies-6938967 The sister of a former Derby County player says she has been left heartbroken after he died following a short illness. Jamie Vincent died aged 46 after being diagnosed with a rare heart condition. The former defender also played for Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Portsmouth and Swindon Town. But his sister Lisa Clarkson said he always put his family first. Lisa, who lives in Burton, has now told how Jamie's family have been left devastated by his death as he leaves behind three children. Speaking to StaffordshireLive, she said she misses her younger brother. Lisa said: "He was a very charming, very popular person. He was incredibly kind and very generous. But he was also a joker who would make you laugh. "His sense of humour was amazing and he was such good company. I remember when it was my sister Sharon's 40th birthday. Sharon hated any kind of attention so she had said that she didn't want anything special. On the night, he turned up at her house wearing a Mexican outfit with a fake moustache. "She didn't recognise him and thought it was a strippergram. She ran back indoors yelling. I think that sums up what kind of person he was." Jamie made more than 500 appearances for 11 clubs across his 19-year playing career. He began his playing days with Palace before moving to Bournemouth where he played more than 100 times. After spells with Huddersfield Town, Portsmouth, Wallsall, Derby, Millwall and Yeovil, the left back moved to Swindon Town. He helped the Robins win promotion to League One in 2007. Lisa was with Jamie at his mother's home near Croydon when he died earlier this year. She says she was "heartbroken" when it happened.

Bill Curry Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) The paper article is dated 11 April 2022 so I assumed it was recent...although the article states "when he died earlier this year...." Sorry, I'm confused! Bill Edited April 12, 2022 by Bill Curry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yes. Poorly dated, and poorly worded article, with just the merest of hints of "When he died earlier this year". This was more an article about his sisters feelings, 3 months later. He died in January. original (January) thread here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
