On 23 November 2016 Futcher died after a short battle with cancer. Former club Grimsby Town announced Futchers passing on the same day with their Official Website describing him as "one of the greatest footballers ever to have graced Blundell Park", also adding "It is impossible to describe the complete admiration we had for him, or the feeling inside as his wonderful abilities dominated matches. He was a complete one-off. Even though you had watched him come away with the ball in the most desperate of circumstances, you could never quite work out how he had done it! He was nothing short of a genius!

A minutes silence was observed at Grimsby's next fixture a 3–2 away defeat at Crawley Town. Whilst Grimsby also announced they would hold a minutes applause for him in their next home game against Portsmouth.

Then his son Ben Futcher joined the club for their League Two play-off final season of 2005–06 before he left for Peterborough United.

After leaving Grimsby in 1994 he played for Dundalk before moving into management.
