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

TRAFFORD’S competitive season kicked off today with an away game in the suburbs of Huddersfield. Danny Caldecott’s team visited Northern Counties East Premier side Golcar United in the Emirates FA Cup, and lived to fight another day after a 0-0 draw in a game that was not easy on the eye. A full match report will be posted in the next few hours, so keep your eye on this website and our Twitter for that………

Unfortunately Graham AKA Foxxy suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke on Boxing Day 2024 whilst watching a football match. He was rushed to Fairfield General where he was treated and then went onto TGH. He has since gone home where he has 2 carers 4 times a day.
Since being discharged on Thursday the 20th February he has had NO physio whatsoever. This is due to the NHS being overloaded.
Graham was doing amazing with the physio at Trafford and they stated that there was no reason for him to be able to get back to himself. He is still unable to walk unaided and without the physios help his mental health will also deteriorate.

Manager Karl Marginson gained a reaction from last week’s heavy defeat, with Trafford playing much better overall, but it was still not enough to beat top-of-the-league Vauxhall Motors – who leave Shawe View this afternoon with a 2-0 victory.
Dave Law’s match report will be up later this evening, so reads the full details of the game when that is published……………..
A buoyant travelling support witnessed Trafford FC play in front of the biggest crowd in its 33-year history, as they travelled to Macclesfield FC.
A final gate of 4,034 was recorded at the Leasing.com stadium on Saturday 1 April 2023, some 2,000 more than what is understood to be the previous highest attendance for a Trafford match.
In an extraordinary twist of fate, captain Astley Mulholland also recorded his 100th appearance for the club.
The whites lost 3-1 to Macclesfield, a result that was enough to crown the Silkmen as champions of the Pitching In Northern Premier League (West Division).
But defeat did not deflate the loyal following of around 180, who were beaming with pride after their special day out.
Reacting after the match, Trafford’s Manager Danny Caldecott praised the “incredible turnout” of the travelling support.
He tweeted: “Congratulations to Macclesfield on winning the league. Very good side and brilliant set up. Not to be for us today, but what an incredible turnout from
@TraffordFCSC. Thank you so much for your support.”
Fans responded by saying they were “proud to support you and the lads.”
Speaking after the match Caldecott said: “As a team we weren’t at our best unfortunately. Making mistakes against Macclesfield is always going to cost you, and it did.”
Paying tribute to Astley Mulholland, the Manager said: “Ast has been first class since I brought him to the club, I’m delighted but not surprised he’s made 100 appearances so quickly. He’s everything you want in a captain.”
A huge thanks club secretary Graham Foxall for co-ordinating ticket sales over the past month.
