A club spokesman said: “Shorty has always worn his heart on his sleeve both as a player and manager for Sutton and will go down in Sutton folklore.

“We would like to thank him for all his efforts both on and off the field and wish him all the very best for the future and hope he enjoys a well earned rest.
