During my weekly cheerful ritual of reading the death notices in
The Messenger in order to check whether I receive a mention, I espied the name of one Beryl Fox of Hale who had died at the age of 92.
I recalled a lady by that name working alongside the late Derek Kennerley in the old Altrincham FC Pools Office, which was located under the main stand.
You used to be able to gain access to it via an entrance on Moss Lane and during the 1970s and 1980s I recollect booking on the coach for various away games there by pressing a bell which duly summoned either of those long-standing employees from behind a sliding window.
I have since been advised that the club's erstwhile secretary Dave Baldwin has confirmed that this is, indeed, the Beryl Fox who worked at the club (apparently, she took the club cat with her when she left her job!).
A blast from the past there. Anyone else remember her?
