RIP Bob Hickman

Halesowen Town FC is saddened to announce the passing of junior section secretary Bob Hickman.

Bob has been associated with grassroots football for many years dating back to the early days of Halas Hawks JFC over 40 years ago and been a major driver in making them one of the biggest junior clubs in the area, regularly involved in the club’s annual presentation, and 5 a side events as well as overseeing the club’s mini kickers sessions. His reputation was well known throughout grassroots football and the wider sporting community in his roles as treasurer of Halesowen Athletic and Cycling Club and Secretary of the Stourbridge and District Youth Football League. The club has received many tributes to his name from managers and ex players and our thoughts are with his wife Pauline and sons, Robert, Gareth and David and their wider families at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
