Everyone at Farsley Celtic is saddened by the sudden passing of club vice president Don Holmes.

Don was a popular figure at the club for more than 35 years.

Over the past three and a half decades he visited the ground most days of the week to help clean and maintain the facilities.

In November 2019 he was awarded National League North Volunteer of the Month in recognition of his work and commitment.

As well as carrying out day-to-day tasks he was often seen repairing and improving all aspects of the site to improve the matchday experience for all attendees. He also volunteered his time to help out on match days.

His commitment to the club was second to none and he is rightly regarded as a true Farsley legend by all who knew him.

He was always highly regarded by players and staff, who he had a close relationship with.

Don will be very much missed. The thoughts of everyone at Farsley Celtic are with his family and friends at this sad time.
