I have been advised by the club that they have been notified of the passing of Len Prince.
Sunderland born Len played for the club as an apprentice, signing professional forms in July 1971 aged around 18 and as a full-back featured in youth teams alongside the likes of Jim Cannon and David Swindlehurst. Progressing to the reserves Len was unable to break into the first team but in the early days of Malcolm Allison as manager he was selected, along with other young players, to turn out in the Anglo-Italian cup tie at home to Lazio on 4th April 1973.
It seems Len was released in 1974 and then played for Dover and Wealdstone amongst others.
Len passed away in his native north-east.
Our condolences go to his friends and family.
