As you have probably seen, the sad news of Derek passing.
He was such a genuine person, and his knowledge on football was unbelievable.
The home page haven’t given details….
Monday 8th August 2.00pm past the ground.
 2-30 Altrincham Crematorium.
3-15 back at the ground.
If possible, please attend. Derek gave so much to this club, to be as great as it is.

Sadly I’m attending another funeral on the 8th Aug, I will be thinking of Derek also.

 I seem to be attending too many funerals of late.

RIP to all who’ve passed.

Sincere condolences Steve. I know the loss when your mum goes. Like you say 101 is a splendid innings. x.

Thanks RG, much appreciated! She was at the Birmingham City away FA Cup match with me, has been to Alty many times over the years, but due to failing health, not in the last 10 years or so.
