I'm sure that we would all like to offer our condolences to his family at this sad and difficult time. He was 20 years old and a great blue.

David please pass on my deepest sympathies to AdamÂ’s family and friends please.
Shocking news. Twenty-years-old, that makes me sick. Adam posted some great stuff on here and this from Traity gives you a flavour of him, his humour, and his Â’EvertoniianismÂ’
Among TonyÂ’s finest footie meomries: Â’The moment when Sterling skips past Hibbert and then Tony absolutely volleys him into Stanley Park will be truly wonderful. Forza HibboÂ’
RIP mate

My sincere condolences to all the Cunliffe family.
I obviously never knew Adam personally but I often used to enjoy his posts as they offered a quite unique perspective on here. Not only for being one of the youngest contributors, but also for being one of the most positive by far. His passion for Everton always shone through.
I remembered quite clearly the article from Adam (that Mohammed #745 links to above) in which he spoke about strolling into school, bursting with pride, because his beloved blues had got a result against the RS the night before.
Â’Good EvertonianÂ’, I thought at the time.
I also remembered that, for some reason, this same article earned a rebuke from resident misery guts at the time, Mr Tony Marsh. Now you might naturally have expected a school kid to shy away from a verbal jousting session with a seething doom monger a few decades his senior, but Adam, to his great credit, stood his ground and came out swinging by....err....calling TM Â’a prickÂ’.
Â’Good lad!Â’, I thought at the time.
When I saw the sad news about Adam a few moments ago, those exact same words were once again the first to spring to my mind:
Good Evertonian.
Good lad.
RIP Adam.

Mohammed. (745) thanks for the link,Adam was some supporter, I didnÂ’t read his articles as I was not on this site then, but for a 14 year old to write such stirring stuff showed how much he loved the Blues, obviously a very special Blue.
Hope he cheers us to a great victory, from his Blue Heaven on Saturday.

Thanks for that link, Mohammed. I actually remember that article and it doesnÂ’t seem like five years ago . He absolutely captured the passion of being young and loving your team. The responses to the article showed just how good it was.
Really sad news. It says much about him that people who never met him are saddened.

Sad when any Evertonian passes away, but when they are only young it just makes you feel even sadder.
Thanks for the link Mo, because just by reading it you can feel how much he was one of us and to write such a good article at 14 years of age showed how much "ADAM LOVED THE BLUES". Rest in peace Adam kid.

I must have read and subsequently forgotten a thousand ToffeeWeb posts over the years... but I never forgot that contribution from Adam.
It struck a chord.
Seeing on twitter that he was just as highly regarded in rugby league circles for his writing. Impressive to leave such a positive impression for one so young.
Rest in peace young man. Hope you get an unobstructed view of us winning for you on Saturday.

That's awful news. RIP Adam.
I've came across Adam's comments a few times and he had a similar outlook to me. I'm pretty sure I've had a seat fairly close to him at the back of the Gwladys Street too. I'd expect he was one of those fans I'd recognise by sight, or by voice.

There is a nice article in the Liverpool Echo tonight on page five about Adam which tells of his love for Wigan rugby club and of his devotion and love for Everton.R.I.P. Adam
