Club receive donations in Stan’s memory

Rochdale Football Club has thanked the family of the late Stan Milburn, who passed away last month for giving cheques received in his memory to the club.

The family asked for donations in the memory of Stan to be made to the Rochdale AFC Youth Development Department.

Mr Milburn’s wife Marjorie and his daughter Anne presented the cheques received in Stan’s memory to the club’s Chief Executive, Colin Garlick.

Mr Garlick said: “It is very touching that his family have chosen to have donations made to our Youth Development program and I am sincerely grateful to Stan’s family for this very kind gesture.

“Mrs Milburn and her daughter said to me that the whole family was very touched by all the messages that they received, they were particularly grateful for the respect shown to Stan on the day of his funeral when all the staff, management and first team players lined the car park to pay their respects to Stan.”
