"Josh was a lad with an incredible energy for life, an infectious and mischievous smile, kind sparkling eyes, and so much love to give. He leaves a gap in our lives that is and will always be impossible to fill, and we will miss him forever."
"Everyone at [the club] is deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of our former academy goalkeeper Josh Travis. Our thoughts are with Josh's family and friends at this extremely difficult time."
"Josh was a fantastic goalkeeper and a great character in the group. Everybody that came across Josh described him as a pleasure to have around with his polite and funny nature. Josh made a real impact in his age group, both as a footballer but more importantly as a person and will be sorely missed at the club."
Fourteen-year-old Joshua Travis, a former Nottingham Forest academy goalkeeper, was struck and killed by a train at the Chestnut Grove footpath level crossing in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, on Wednesday night. British Transport Police said he died at the scene and are not treating the death as suspicious. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch is conducting a preliminary examination into the incident. Dozens of floral tributes were left at the closed level crossing. Family described Josh as having incredible energy, an infectious mischievous smile, kind sparkling eyes, and so much love to give. Local clubs including Nottingham Forest, Aspire FC and Burton Joyce FC issued tributes, postponed fixtures, and planned moments of silence.
