Colin Lippiatt has today lost his battle with cancer and passed away.

Colin Lippiatt became manager of Yeovil Town in 1998 and made possibly Yeovil's greatest every signing- Terry Skiverton. 

Lippiatt had his greatest success as a manager at Woking and St Albans City rescuing Woking from relegation in 2000, ending up taking them from a relegation spot to mid-table 14th.

During his eighteen month time at Huish Park, Lippiatt led Yeovil to 11th and 5th in the league and reached the third round in the FA Cup eventually losing to Cardiff City.

"Big Col's" last appearance at Yeovil was for Terry Skiverton's testimonial game, where he managed one of the teams.

Terry Skiverton has been quick to pay tribute to Colin on Twitter:

"I would just like to say thank you colin lippiatt for saving my career and giving me my second chance in life.the skiverton familly will miss you."

Rest in peace Colin Lippiatt. 1942-2010.
