Colin Slater MBE, the voice of Notts County, was much more than a journalist, commentator and broadcaster.
He had a huge impact on Nottinghamshire in so many ways, through charity work, his position as chair of the Nottingham Bench of Magistrates - and he even had a beer brewed after him as well as a tram.
And a number of those involved in Mr Slater's life outside of football have paid tribute to him.
