I was aware of Kenny before I'd been to watch Alty. Clubs need characters. Kenney was ours.

RIP Kenny, condolences to friends and family. As everyone else says, great man, very friendly, funny and made you smile. True Alty Legend that will be missed by all parts of the community. Hope the club comes up with a fitting memorial, such as a minutes applause at a home game, winning the title this season.

A unique character deserves a unique tribute.  A minute's Zigger Zagger surely.

He will be missed by all Alty fans

Where do I start here!!!?

I first met Kenny on the 06th October 1974 at my Alty debut V Buxton. my college colleague Ian Haigh introduced him to me. Since then we always chatted at every game and I had a great deal of time for him. He was very friendly, funny and a flirt with the lady fans. I know he was fighting cancer and his health had been poor over the last couple of years and we have discussed this a great length when I saw him at recent matches. He had a very deep love for the club, and they for him too.  

I do remember his legendary warm-ups on the touchline, especially his side-steps where I am sure he almost knocked over either a substitute or a linesman, but maybe in my age my memory is becoming foggy. Spoke to him at every game over my 43 years supporting the team; his length of support dwarf's mine substantially.

He will always be a legend in my eyes. I was sent to the washroom by sympathetic colleagues today as I was crying at my work desk when I heard the news - I only heard it from a colleague this morning. I hope the club does him justice - 1 minutes applause maybe, or one minute chanting Zigga Zagga Zigga Zagga Ken Palin!!!!!

Rest in peace my pal, and my deepest sympathy to his family. I do hope they read this and understand how he was held in such high regard.

I  encountered Kenny the first time I entered ML, a little over 40 yaears ago.  He seemed, immediately, to be a larger than life character who knew, and was known, by everyone.  The expressions of condolence I’ve read here are but a fraction of the many who will be sad to hear this news.  He embodied a lot of the reasons why I chose to align myself to this club and no other.  His notoriety and the affection he drew, spanned generations; it was my young son who told me the news, he was saddened too as Kenny had made an impression on him.  RIP Kenny.  Sadly missed, never forgotten.

Not that I'd be able to fly over for it anyway, but for others who may be attending, what day is it on (unless I've somehow missed it)?
