Ken Rollin : Mon Sep 09, 2024 9:05 am  

Thought the minutes applause as a tribute to Ken Rollin was superb. I would like to make a mention for Danny Kirmond who showed his class with the family after the applause. He embraced who I believe was Kens widow as they came off.

Well done Danny

Danny has always been that guy. He's a superb ambassador for the club and just a great guy. Especially around our older players and supporters.

Ken was such a lovely guy. I was lucky enough to get to know him quite well.
He's an important part of our history and I'm pleased he's been remembered like this and in the photos from the 60s around the ground.

As we know Danny understands grief better than most. As stated he’s always been a stalwart guy, but more than ever these days.

He’s here on merit, but it’s undeniable that his empathetic nature is an extra gift. He’s not perfect but no one is, he just seems real to me. Only met him once and he just seemed likeable to me.
