Lee Clark says that Steve Black's sad passing has left a "gaping hole" in the world of sport - and that Newcastle United have lost one of their greatest ever employees.
Black left us at the weekend with tributes flooding in after he worked with the biggest names in sport such as Alan Shearer, Kevin Keegan, Joey Barton, Terry McDermott, Danny Cipriani and Jonny Wilkinson - who said he turned him into the best fly-half in the world.
Black is credited with helping turn Newcastle from Second Division relegation material into Premier League title contenders in the 1990s under Keegan thanks to his fitness and motivational techniques.
