It is the club's very sad duty to report the passing of Bryan Hayes, a supporter who had followed the club since the 1960's including therefore some of its time at The Old Angel Ground. 

Bryan (85) who passed away suddenly on Thursday evening (27th January) had a long association with the Angels through the good and not so good times, both home and away including sponsoring games.   

He was passionate about the game and in particular his hometown club, and was always ready with a friendly word or two with fellow supporters to which this writer can certainly attest.

The club wishes to convey its sincerest condolences to all Bryan's family and friends.  Details of Bryan's funeral will be posted on this website once confirmed.
