The Blackpool born forward has turned out for a whole host of clubs both on a Saturday and Sunday. This season Mick has been turning out for Northern Care Reserves FC in Division 1. Northern Care FC's 1st team game against Red Rose Catering FC has been called off tomorrow as a mark of respect.
Mick was also heavily involved with Broughton Amateurs FC where he was assistant player/manager. The forward/winger also used to play for three of our Saturday sides in the shape of Wren Rovers, Squires Gate and Blackpool Mechanics.
On a Sunday he played for Matrix, Lancashire Double Glazing, Whiteheads TV, H & A, The Mortgage Shop, Arcadian, Reform FC and top nineties side West Coast Transmissions FC who reached the Gledhill final on three occasions.
Sincere condolences to the family, friends and team-mates of Mick Elgee from all of those involved in the Fylde Coast amateur footballing community.
