56 is no age, and in such tragic circumstances. Him and John Matthews were a formidable central midfield duo, complementing each other perfectly.

Shocking news. Dave Smith's team will always be my favourites as that glorious season was my first with Argyle.

Jeez,that is a shock.Same age as me and one of my all time favourite midfielders at his best-he could certainly spray the ball around and formed one hell of a partnership with John Matthews in that 1985/86 team.I think Russell liked a pint or two off the field along with some of his team mates and lived life to the full-proper footballer IMHO.

RIP Russell and thanks for the memories.

We used to joke that as an opponent, if Coughlin gave you the black spot, your days were numbered.

Awful news. RIP to an Argyle great.

Really good player for us during promotion with Smithy. Tragic. RIP.

Desperately sad news that another legend has been taken from us.

Ciderman's Pilgrims remain, I think, those closest to my heart - and the run-in to that season must have been just about the most sensational batch of results in the club's entire history; the semi-final crew (with whom there was an overlap) next; Luggy's Lads after that; Shilton's team some way behind them; Warnock's Wembley Winners some way back in the distance.

Of Ciderman's Pilgrims Coughlin was one of the most under-appreciated: a proper little hard nut who could pass the ball with aplomb and there'll always be that goal he scored from the corner v Bristol City to gladden our hearts in perpetuity.

He gave us so much.

Thank you, Russell, and may you rest in peace.

During the 85/86 season, I had just left school and was at St Austell College doing the first year of my A levels.
Thanks to that wonderful teams efforts, of which Russell and Johnny were certainly the midfield heartbeat, I just had to give up my studies and go out an earn some money to follow the team around the second division.
RIP Russell, another childhood hero gone too soon.
