The “Grassroots Football Tour” takes place in a few weeks, in aid of The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, and Trafford FC have signed up to be involved…..
The Tour consists of a 156 mile walk starting and ending at Ossett United in Yorkshire. In a huge loop across the north of England, a core team of 16 walkers will visit 21 other football grounds across three days, June 6th to 8th 2025. Many other walkers will drop in and out along the route, each making their own efforts to raise money for The Darby Rimmer Foundation.
Former Liverpool, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers footballer Stephen Darby (husband of former Man City & England Lionesses captain Steph Houghton) plus his close friend and British Forces Veteran Chris Rimmer have partnered together to launch the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. Stephen and Chris both have Motor Neurone Disease and have created this charity to increase awareness of MND, to fund and assist research into the illness, and to hopefully help find a cure. The Foundation will also raise funds and offer grants to those with MND, as well as creating a network to help provide information and emotional support for those diagnosed with the disease.
The Trafford FC to Altrincham leg of the walk will take place on Saturday 7th June 2025. Walkers are expected to arrive at Shawe View between 2pm – 3pm that day, and after a quick refuel they will walk the approximately 8½ miles to Altrincham’s Moss Lane stadium.
Taking part in this leg of the walk will be former Trafford AND Altrincham legends Stuart Coburn and Ged Kielty, along with other members / supporters of both clubs. The bonds between Altrincham FC and Trafford FC have always been strong, and we are looking forward to joining with our very good friends from The Robins to try and raise a decent amount from our leg, to add to the grand total. We’d love to have as many people as possible down to either take part, or just give some vocal support to the walkers.
All money raised by the Grassroots Football Tour will go directly to the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. All donations are gratefully received.

It is with huge sadness that we must announce the passing of our Football Secretary, Head Groundsman, and Director Graham Foxall.
Graham passed away on 26th March, peacefully, his family with him, aged 69 years.
Universally known as “Foxxy”, Graham was for 30 years THE embodiment of Trafford Football Club. Known and respected by all in non-league football, his standards were the highest and his commitment was total. From 1994 to 2024 Graham missed just TWO Trafford games. Another title he truly deserved was that of Mr. Trafford FC.
Everyone at the club is devastated to lose Graham, but our thoughts are first and foremost with his family who have lost a wonderful father, brother, and grandfather. Rest in peace Graham. You will be missed x
