In Loving Memory – Graham Hastings
18th December 2020Barton Town Football Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of club volunteer Graham Hastings.
If you have ever been to the Easy Buy Stadium you will have met Graham, he was our raffle ticket seller, but he was more than that. He was a great friend, and always had a smile on his face and a chat while walking around the ground with his raffle bucket.
Graham was one of our most dedicated volunteers, as along with the raffle he was also in charge of our 200 Club. He was always happy to help when anything needed doing at the ground, and was a volunteer at the club for many years.
Our next home game against Hemsworth Miners Welfare on Saturday 2nd January will be dedicated to Graham and his memory. There will be a minute’s silence prior to the game too as we remember one of our own.
This year we have lost former club President Denis Cox and Paula Taylor, wife of club Director Owen, and now Graham. All three of them will be dearly missed.
As a club we all send our deepest condolences and best wishes to Graham’s family, friends and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.
Rest in Peace Graham, you will never be forgotten.
top bloke very well liked and respected RIP Graham
Such sad news for all who new him, always a bit of banter when he was selling the tickets for the raffle.
My thoughts are with his family and close friends.
I agree entirely with the statement above, as a next door neighbour of 30yrs I have plenty of fond memories of Graham a cheeky chap with a twinkle in his eye, never failed to make me laugh, he will indeed be sadly missed.
Our deepest condolences to his family.
A great mate who I had the pleasure of knowing for many years, condolences to his family,he will be a great loss to many. R.I.P Graham
The funniest and most caring man, an absolute diamond! We will miss him very much. RIP Graham xx
Graham was lovely guy. I worked with him for many years at ACC.
Always a smile. a genuine guy. such a shame.
I can’t believe it I am so saddened to hear this news. Such a lovely man and great to talk to about old times he had playing and watching football. I was fortunate enough to travel to a couple of away matches watching Old Boys and him telling me all sorts of stories. He will be sorely missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP Graham
Such a great man will miss him RIP ❤️
