Ken Springett

Sadly our Life Vice-President Ken Springett passed away in the early hours of Sunday 11 October 2009 aged 82.

Ken was a devoted supporter of Barnet Football Club for nearly 40 years. For over 25 years as a BFCSA commitee member he was a busy volunteer at Underhill, including being a turnstile operator, assisting in the tea bars and the club shop.

Ken was a true gentleman and friend, the club has lost one of its most loyal and popular supporters. He was always one you could trust to tell stories about what the club was like many years ago. Ken you are gone but always will be remembered as a true and loyal supporter of the club.

Ken was admitted to hospital on 12 September after a fall when the coach had arrived back from the Macclesfield Town away match. Ken had a wonderful spirit and was universally liked by all those he met. We offer our condolences to his family. Many of you will know his son and daughter, Alan and Ann, and son-in-law Steve, all of whom are Barnet supporters.

Rest in Peace Ken.
