Thats weird...i remember him on loan to us and i thought he was brilliant! So much in fact, that i had his number 4 printed on the back of my shirt (not realising he was on loan). That was the only time i had anything printed on the back of a football shirt.

Preece joined the Town in a week that also saw Scott Leitch and Steve Cowe arrive at the County Ground, during the run-in to Swindon's 1995/96 title winning season. Preece added much experience to the midfield and impressed in his seven appearances, his only goal coming in a crucial 2-0 win at promotion-chasing Crewe Alexandra.

That is sad news.

I remember being impressed by him in the short time he was here too. I was hoping we could have signed him permantly but it never happened.

Scored a nice goal away at Crewe.

Really sad to here about Preece's passing. I also remember him as having a successful loan period here.

Rest in Peace.

That is shocking indeed. He was the perfect replacement for McMahon when he got injured and it was a mistake not signing him permanently IMO. I remember the goal he scored at Crewe around Easter time of that 95-96 season when we won 2-0. That was the game when we knew we were all  but up. What a day that was.

Very sad news.

I thought he was a good player! he played really well when he was on loan here, i wanted him signed permanently, very sad news, 44 is no life at all, my thoughts go out to all of his family.

Erm as I did not go to many matches under McMahon, I don't remember his loan period here, but I do remember his Luton days.

44, flipping heck that's not old to go is it?  RIP.
