[the mighty T]

Words can't express how gutted I am...

Your legacy will not be defined by the cancer that took your life, but by the determination, strength and courage you have demonstrated.

R.I.P Jim Stynes, champion footballer, unbelievable man. You have inspired us all

 

[Mijhaa]

True legend of not only the MFC but society in general.

Even when seriously ill he still continued to give to the club and to those less fortunate through Reach.

RIP Jim - you will never be forgotten.

Just heard it on the radio at work. My heart sunk.
R.I.P Jim, you have changed the lives of many and will continue to do so for many years to come

Not just Dees supporters finding today to be a tough one in the office. I'm glad no-one was in when I heard the news Only a truly exceptional person could be so much larger than life when already a giant to begin with!

Shocking that two blokes (Jimmy and Sean) who played such a big part in defining Footy in the 80's for so many are both gone so close together.

RIP Jim, taken far too soon. At peace now. Heroes get remembered... But legends never die.

 

[Tulip]

Apparently he packed up all his belongings before it happened, one less thing for Sam to deal with.

 

[MightyHawks]

RIP Jim Stynes.

A very sad day.

Far too young for this

 

[Mad props Freo]

Ah shit. Terrible news. Rest easy Big Jim.....

Really an inspirational battle, will be missed greatly in the wider footbal community. Good luck to Sam and his family in what must be a very difficult time.

Fantastic to see people from all clubs rally around Melbourne FC and the AFL in general to pay thier respects.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Jim Stynes. He played the game from his heart and was always a complete gentleman from what I could gather. Very respected by all his peers.

Condolences to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Re: Gentleman Jim

Every heart beats true for the red and the blue today for Jim.

RIP to a warrior, a fighter, a champion bloke, a legend of our great game, a husband, a father, a son, and an all round gentleman.

RIP Jim.

I will not forget our meetings and all our talks. You were an inspiration and the world is a lot sadder with your passing today. It was a true pleasure to know you mate.

You may be gone too soon, but your spirit lives on, and your legend will only grow. You are etched in our hearts forever.

Condolences to Sam and family. This is a sad day for the passing of a great man.

Rest In Peace mate, you are now at peace and free from pain.

Of those few who spend their lives giving more than they take, Jim Stynes was exemplary.
