We are sorry to report that the gentleman who suffered serious injuries in an accident at St Albans City Football Club this morning has passed away.

An update on the Saints’ website describes Clive Churchhouse as “one of the St Albans City’s longest serving supporters and volunteers”.

The National League South club’s chairman, Lawrence Levy, said on behalf of the club: “We are all completely devastated by the news. Clive was a much-loved character around the club with a big personality who regularly helped out at the ground and on away trips with the team.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Valerie, daughter Sallyann, son Keith and his grandchildren as well as his wide circle of friends at this very sad time.”

All at Kenilworth Road would like to send condolences to Mr Churchhouse’s family, friends and all at St Albans City at this tragically sad time.
