Very sad to hear of the passing of Bill, one of the most caring and intelligent people I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside during my many years in football. He served the County Minor Sunday Youth League from 1969 and looked over its glorious years. A true Gent who will be sadly missed ❤️

William was the older brother of myself Jeffrey and brother in law to Sara both of whom reside in Australia.
William suffered greatly especially these last two years but stayed strong and positive especially when talking to us in all our weekly telephone calls.
You were a wonderful brother,brother in law and true friend who will be very much missed.
Our love to all your family and friends. Jeff and Sara
