Mick Cox RIP

A great friend of mine and known by so many Bees fans, Mick (Coxy) passed away on Mother's Day.
Mick and his brother Terry had a thriving fish & chip shop for many years, in fact the Bees team coach all piled in there a good few years ago after another drubbing at Peterborough, Mick had invited them all in for a meal on him.
Some of you may remember him from the Anglo-italian trips, he went over to Italy for the away games.

A season ticket holder for many years, he also won a lifeline USA trip back in the early days. Mick was a true Bee, a group of us Essex, Herts and Reading Bees travelled all over the country with him, there was never a dull moment with him around. He had the sharpest, most evil sense of humour I've ever known, he'd get away with saying things that no-one else would dare say but the Benny Hill type expression on his face always saved him!

Taken far too early at 58 years old, he leaves his lovely wife Nicola, 2 daughters Sophie and Nicole and his son Max, a carbon copy of his dad with the same humour and lovely ways. I'm not sure if Max ever forgave Mick for giving him the middle name of Brentford (yes really!) but he's carrying on the family tradition of following the Bees and drinking for England.

I also had several holidays with Coxy, we went to New York, Chicago, Spain, Ireland and Germany together....... Always had a fantastic time and a great laugh.

The whole group are devastated by this loss, the man was an absolute legend. I dread to think what his family are feeling now.

The family are all hoping to attend the Spurs game and would like people to join in a round of applause in the 58th minute for him. Unfortunately the club no longer arrange this due to the high number of requests they were receiving, so we are hoping to just do it ourselves, please join in.

RIP Coxy, and sincere condolences to all the family and friends.

Well said, lovely words John and very sad for those left behind, Mick was a lovely, funny geezer and will be sadly missed.
What a terrible start to to 2022 losing so many truly special supporters already.

Very sad to read this , saw him up and down the country at many away days in years gone by . Always said hello and was up for a chat on all things Brentford.

Too many good fans being taken away from us far too early in life.

RIP Mick .
 

Mick Cox RIP

Very sad news indeed. A proper face for so many years and even though 58 Is no age at all he didn’t even look anywhere near that. Very young looking chap. He and his Andy mutton crew sit / sat :( directly behind me in w235 so have seen him loads this season. I am happy that he got to see the greatest games in all our lifetimes.
Rest in peace coxy and we will certainly get the applause going on 58 minutes.

RIP to a fellow Bee & commiserations to his family and friends ??
 

Mick Cox RIP

Such a sad loss. .mick was always such great fun to be with. We have had some legendary away days over the years. It's hard to believe we won't be seeing him at the bees anymore.
RIP Mick
 

Mick Cox RIP

Wow I am stunned by this news - had a chat with him and others at halftime of Newcastle game. Didn't know him massively well but was always friendly and polite. RIP Mick.
 

Mick Cox RIP

When I learned the news its one of the moments you just stop in shock.

Such sad news was only chatting to him a week or so earlier. What a performance for him at Chelsea and see Andy mutton after the game and we both just smiled and had big man hug . (Which know mick would been taking the piss about if he saw us).

Great guy who I remember seeing up and down the country as I was growing watching the Bees.

RIP Mick
 

Mick Cox RIP

RIP. I probably knew him in the 'old days' home and away with only a handful of fans in attendance (any pictures available?). Sounds like he was a stalwart and a true Bees fan.
 

Mick Cox RIP

Fine words in tribute. RIP Mick and condolences to the family. I to managed to get Brentford as my second sons middle name I'm not sure he's forgiven me either.
 

Mick Cox RIP

I think this is the Mick Cox who owned a Fish and Chip shop near the football ground and train station in St Neots. I use to go there occasionally. I thought that I was the only Bees fan living in St Neots until I found out late last year that there was another. He recently sold his shop because of ill health.
Condolences to his family and friends.RIP Mick

Echo your words John. I will truly miss Mick. So so sad he’s no longer with us. So many funny moments with him. RIP mate. ❤️??
 

Mick Cox RIP

Oh no!! Didn’t know him by name, but always chatted with him at away games. Top bloke. Last saw him at Arsenal, had a good chat on the way back to the station. RIP Mick. ?
 

Mick Cox RIP

Wow, only just seen this. Lovely feller who was always there at distant outposts following the Bees. Huge condolences. RIP Mick.

I just got this from Andy Mutton, he’s asked me to post this as a reminder

Spurs Game – 58th Minute Applause for Mick Cox

It is with deep regret that I have to inform you lifelong Bees fan Mick Cox has sadly passed away.

I am sure there are so many people on here and the wider Brentford community who either knew Mick in person, or recognised him on the GP terraces, at the new stadium and countless away grounds up and down the country.

Some of Mick’s family will be attending the Spurs game on Saturday 23 April and they have asked if you could kindly join in a minute’s applause in the 58th minute in tribute to Mick. Also please spread the word to as many fans as possible to help spread the word.

Unfortunately, the club no longer do the photos on the big screens, but please keep an eye out for the 58th minute and show Mick’s family how highly he was thought of by his Brentford “family”.

Thank you

Andy Mutton

Hopefully Sky will be made aware of this, with it being a live game.

Hi
I'm from Bedfordshire but originally from Letchworth. I'm Nicola Cox's Auntie. I stumbled on this post when looking for information about Brentford as I'm not really a football supporter (what a terrible thing to say here! :oops: )

It's so heart warming to read all these lovely comments about Mick, he was truly a top bloke and he was Nicola's absolute soulmate & friend as well as husband. I was at the funeral yesterday, a small church service in Letchworth for close family, followed by a crematorium service. At the crematorium, all seats were filled and many people standing at the back and in the foyer area. Then we all returned to a reception at a local hotel in Letchworth which was packed. So many people saying lovely things about Mick.

Just in case it's of interest to any of you, Mick & Nicola's eldest daughter Nicole has set up a Just Giving page as a tribute to Mick, to raise money for Harefield Hospital as Mick had a lot of fantastic treatment there. So I just thought I'd include a link below for anyone who might like to donate.

Nicola left a post on Facebook this morning with her message
'Yesterday we said goodbye to Mick Cox, my wonderful husband and father to our 3 amazing children, he was the air that I breathed and my sweetheart.
Harefield hospital at times was a place of hope and also for peace , Mick received amazing treatment there since 1995 so if you able to donate please do, you never know when you are going to need these places and they need our support
❤️

'

Nicola also went to a match today with the children and here they are with the flag tribute
