It is with great sadness that I am informing you of the sudden death of Ralph who passed away this morning. I have no further details at present and will let you know of funeral arrangements as soon as I am informed. Ralph will be a sad loss to football at all levels – County; District and League – and has contributed much to football in Cheshire and Mid Cheshire over many years.
REally sad news, we only appreciate people like Ralph fully when they are gone. He will be greatly missed and hard to replace. My thoughts and condolences to his family.
