We are very sorry to have to tell you of the passing of Bob Nancollis on the evening of Thursday, 29th April at the age of 74. Bob was a Wittoner all his life & initially used to go to matches with his Dad & brothers. Since that time he came to games with his daughter & Grandson, & was often joined by his nephew as well. Bob was a season ticket holder, he was loyal to the Albs but above all that he was a great bloke who will be sadly missed by his family & friends. RIP Bob.
Very sad news, I will miss our chats at the game Bob was a great guy and our thoughts go out to all his family and friends at this sad time.
RIP Bob UTA
Sad news indeed, Bob will be sorely missed. Witton was in his blood. Condolences to his family.
Sad news. I didn’t know Bob as well as some of you but he always said hello and enjoyed taking his Grandson to every home game & even some away games . RIP Bob & sympathy to family and friends.
Such sad news. Bob was a great lad and top Wittoner, hard to believe we won’t see him at games. RIP Bob, our thoughts are with all the family at this time.
Quite agree Colin. There will be a few more spaces on the terraces post Covid and none more sadly missed than Bob, a hugely talented guy and a great supporter of our team. Condolences to all the family.
Just to update everyone further:
Bob’s funeral will take place on Tuesday 18th May but space is very limited due to Crematorium space & Social Distancing guidelines. The service is also being screened online and people should contact Verity Nancollis via her Facebook page for further details. Donations are being received in memory of Bob, for the following: Cancer Research UK, Christie Hospital & Witton Albion Football Club.
