It is with deep regret and sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and former colleague Elliot Pottinger. Elliot was an incredibly kind, caring and intelligent man with a warm heart and all who met him instantly connected with him. He will be sorely missed by us all.

Terrible news. It was always a pleasure to catch-up with Anthony, and only so him recently at the @sportwales summit in December. His contribution to sport was huge. Cwsg mewn hedd.
