RIP Lenny. So sad. He was playing central midfield when I started watching the clarets around 1990. His poor family.

It was nice to see him in high spirits recently with the BBC Radio Lancashire video with that voice aid, but today is very sad news. I hope the club do something for him tomorrow night

My lasting memory of Kenny was when he and Sean Gregan of PNE clashed at the Turf. It was like two juggernauts colliding in the middle of the park and Gregan came off far worse than Lenny did. RIP Ken 😪

Deeply saddened by this news. I can remember my former boss and Lennie’s uncle Frank telling me he was heading to Turf, seems a lifetime ago now. He had a hard start and and terrible end but he touched so many with his attitude and class.

RIP Lennie. Thoughts go to all who were close. God Bless xx

In think we all knew it was imminent but it makes it no less sad - he's made me laugh and cry these last few years and he's been such an inspiration. my thoughts are with Lenny's family and friends.

Really sad to hear this. Lenny was courageous both as a footballer and undoubtably with his battle with MND. Lenny you'll always be a Claret, RIP.

Why don't we do a minute's silence before the game rather than interrupting the actual game?
