We were very sorry to hear further bad news at the weekend. We lost another former player when John Ridley passed away at the age of 68. John joined us for the start of the 1985/86 season and made 135 appearances plus 32 as sub. A real leader on the pitch, John joined us after a very respectable league career and eventually progressed to Assistant Manager to Ron Reid, before leaving the club in 1989. Our best wishes go to all of John’s family and friends at this sad time.

We recently heard of the passing of three other Rangers players with the news of Terry Eade, from our Cheshire League days, plus Mick Morris from our excellent period in the 70’s and also Alf Wood. Our condolences and best wishes go to all of their families.
