Funeral service 14:00 at Altrincham Methodist. Wake at the ground from 15:00. All welcome, no dress code.

Not that I'd be able to fly over for it anyway, but for others who may be attending, what day is it on (unless I've somehow missed it)?

Oh dear! Apologies.

Friday, 6th. Was just trying to spread the word quickly.

Thanks for all the info, I am going to go to the funeral. I know there is a private family do at the Cremotorium, but I would like t go to the church and the wake at Altrincham CSH. I assume we are ok going to the church.

I have known the fella since my first game V Buxton - 06 Oct 74. Always had loads of time for Kenny, and we chatted whenever we met. He still says 'Hiya Mate' from his place in heaven.

hi Steve this is how I read it that all welcome at the Methodist church

He was a very popular person in and out of the club hence the private arrangements as well I imagine so the family can have some privacy

What a turnout for a legend.
He was Mr Altrincham. Loved by many.
It was said between 400-600, at the Methodist Church.

Leaning on a lamp post at the Church, & and Old McDonalds farm at the club.
Kenny, you were a one off.
You had the BEST send off.
Always in our heart.

What a great afternoon  I had yesterday at both the funeral and the wake at the ground.

Kenny was a lovely local character, was very funny but always great to have a chat to. I remember my first game back after being ill last year. I was unable to stand up, and sat with him in the first half just chinwagging with him about our various ailments and hospital visits. I thank god for every moment I have spent with him over the 43 years I have been watching Alty, our enjoyable chats and I do not remember seeing him without a smile on his face, ever. I will miss his greeting of Hiya mate, and even though I love this club to bits, Kenny will be sadly missed.

The funeral showed how much he was loved by everybody he knew, we all had our lives made that little bit better by Kenny for having knowing him, that includes me.

I would love the club to give him a permanent honour of some sort, but more than anything else, win the title this season for his memory.

Rest in peace pal, and thanks for coming into my life and making it that much brighter.
