I worked with Ian during my time with the Premier League. He was always welcoming, good fun, and oozed passion regarding his love for Everton Football Club. This is a real shock and a huge loss for everyone. Sincere condolences to his wife, children, and all of his football family x

Lavo,
Still can’t get my head around the news. Not only one of Everton’s good guys, but one of life’s. From welcoming me to Finch Farm in 2015 when I started as a DC coach, to guiding me around Europe on a host of tours, to then us both worrying about Everton & Leeds. It was a pleasure. Quick humoured & kind hearted. Finch Farm won’t be the same without you.
Friday was a fitting send off, for a fine man.
Thoughts are with your family and friends.
Love,
Paddy Byrne & family 💙

There is not enough words to explain the heartbreak of losing you, why you was taken so soon we will never understand. I will forever cherish the memories I have of you, always looking so serious but once that smirk appeared on your face who knew what you was gonna come out with. You was the entertainer for everyone, never a dull day when you was around, always had everyone in fits of laughter. Back with grandad now, until we meet again rip uncle Ian LAVO 💙
