You may have seen on our Twitter account that we recently lost John Crook, sadly passed away. John was a supporter of Trafford FC for many years, and became involved behind the scenes at the club - especially helping out during the summer "Working Parties" where maintenance and repair is carried out at Shawe View over the close-season.

All who came across John found him to be a lovely man, a great and entertaining talker, and he made a fine cup of tea!

The condolences of everyone at Trafford FC go to John's family who sent us this message:

"Please join us to celebrate John's life on Friday 10th June 2022 at 14:30 at Altrincham Crematorium, Whitehouse Lane, Dunham Massey, WA14 5RH. Then afterwards at 'The Venue' (Masonic Hall) Westbourne Road, Urmston, M41 0XQ.

Formal attire is not essential, casual dress and football shirts welcome, black is not essential.

There will also be a live video link of the service - contact us for details.

No flowers please.

Donations for the PDSA should be sent directly to the funeral directors: Ann Blyth & Son, 147 Church Road, Urmston, M41 9ET"
