Sad news,he’s battled with his mental health for a few years,got to feel for his parents who have now lost all 3 of their kids,tragic. RIP Holly.

very sad news, one of the last Barla tourist players to sign full time pro at the top level. He played on the same Tour in 94 as some of my former team mates, 4 years later a GF winner.

Dreadful news, great lad and a great player beset by demons unfortunately. RIP Holly.

Oh no, was he struggling with mental health issues? Can’t say I’ve heard much about him since he retired tbh.  So sad.

A third participant in the first Grand Final (two players, one coach) are no longer with us - very sad indeed.

Stephen Holgate.

Unfortunately earlier this week we learned of the passing of Stephen and we are trying to assist family members who would like to wear the Town strip associated most from his fantastic time at the club. (See image)

If you have this shirt and are prepared to either sell it to or allow a family member to wear it on the day of his funeral then please comment on this post or email info@townshop.co.uk and our board member Kerry Harrison will contact you to arrange.

We are looking for Large or XL sizes ideally.

Thank you.
