Brian was instrumental in the forming of Chase Terrace Old Scholars back in 1954 and his association with the club has been constant ever since.

Brian played for Chase Terrace Old Scholars for many years, affectionately known as “Blondie” in his playing days.

Club chairman and lifelong friend of Brian’s, Mike Joiner said "Brian will be sadly missed by all associated with the Club. For the past 63 years Brian has worked tirelessly for the club and for the past 33 years would be seen at the Scholars Ground day in day out working on the maintenance of the grounds and surrounding areas."

Brian has overseen the progress of the club over the previous 63 years, playing their first match on the Stafford Road in Cannock at Huntington and then progressing to the highlight of being part of the opening of the new Cardiff City Stadium.

Our thoughts at this time are with his Daughter, Lynn, Son-in-Law, Nigel, Grand-children, Sam and Chris and also his sister Margaret.
