Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. Although Sheffield-born Smith's playing career was mostly spent in the lower leagues, it was in management in which he really established a reputation. No-nonsense, direct and a motivator of players, the roll call of talent that he helped produce, sign or nurture is a remarkable one. John Aldridge and Darren Anderton were both signed by top clubs after progressing under his management, while players such as former soldier Guy Whittingham at Portsmouth and Derby's Croatian Igor Stimac showed his eye for a signing.

Tirana is in 6th place with 19 points while Kukesi is in 2nd place with 21 points.
