Toni Connell, who manages a girls’ team at Wickersley Youth FC, said Margaret Bower and her late husband Jim had become familiar faces when walking their dog at the Ruby Cook Playing Field, where the club is based.

Following Jim’s recent death, Margaret had continued to visit the sports field and had surprised Toni and her team with a gift in Jim’s memory.

“We thought was really kind of her as we are a self-funded club and any donations will always be gratefully received,” Toni said.

“It will go directly to the club for upkeep of the pitches, club buildings and equipment.

“We hope do something within the club in Jim’s name.”
