THE footballing community in Oxford has been stunned by the death of Mitchell Cole.
He clearly loved the game and was very reluctant to hang up his boots because of his heart condition.
At such a young age it must have been incredibly frustrating for Mr Cole to give up his profession.
Fans who have paid tribute to him knew this and so did his former U’s team-mates, who went out of their way to pay their respects at the weekend.
