No, he passed away last week. I don't know his age but I think he was probably closer to his 40's than 20's. The club posted a lovely tribute on Twitter today.

latics22 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Very weirdly I was say at table in a pub with his niece! Didnt know him or her, but she showed me photos of andy Ritchie visiting him. Nice touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsworth blue Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 He was a lovely fella was Lee, sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer last year. He got married last year and has left a lovely wife and children. He has a great family and they would be delighted with the send off he had. His brother contacted PTB to see if they could get Andy Ritchie to visit him and PTB via Big Tony Feeley was happy to organise. Lee was 49 when he passed away, hence the tribute on 49th minute. Credit must go to the club for their great tribute, the shirt with number 49 Marland on it, displaying his flag at training yesterday and performing magnificently today Always happy to lavish praise on the club when they get something right - they did today in abundance!!! RIP Lee - a lovely fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was first diagnosed ten years ago and fought like a champion, a nicer more pleasant man you'd fail to meet and considering his troubles he had a smile that could light up any room and his positivity was inspiring, fair play to the club I give them enough shit but the tributes they paid and the performance was wonderful, well done.
