One of the nicest men you could ever meet
GEORGE HONOURED
From the Robins' Review:
"The Board would like to announce that George Heslop has been made Honorary President of the Youth Team in recognition of many years of service to the Club.
George first started watching Altrincham in 1948 and has been involved in many roles, including being a gateman in his early years, Matchday Secretary, Company Secretary and has been Altrincham's most successful manager of the Youth team for over twenty years, winning many trophies and titles in this time.
There have been many players who have progressed through the Altrincham Youth set-up and played for our first team, including Lewis Chalmers, Kieran and Kelvin Lusgden, Ben Deegan, Sam Heathcote and Duncan Watmore, who now plays in the Premier League for Sunderland. There are many other ex-Altrincham Youth team players, too many to name, playing non-League football.
Many thanks on behalf of the Board, Neil Faulkner".
