RIP Colin, a Clitheroe legend.
So sad to hear that Colin has passed away. He has been a part of the furniture at Shawbridge forever it seems. I remember him well from my playing days which were eons ago! My condolences to his family and everyone at Clitheroe on behalf of everyone that was at Rossendale United (also unfortunately deceased). Colin was a true football man who will be missed. -Steve Hobson

Colin Wilson was one of football's stalwarts. He devoted most of his spare time to Clitheroe FC.

As a past Chairman of the club I want to acknowledge Colin's fantastic support for both myself and the committee during my 8 years at the helm. I know both Denis Underwood and Gary Butcher would agree with me when I say Colin knew football rules inside out. If there was anything contentious surrounding the rulebook Colin always had the answer. His outstanding knowledge of all things football was invaluable during one of the club's finest hours, the FA Vase Final at Wembley.

Along with many others I have spent happy times debating football with Colin and feel sad this will no longer be possible. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends as both they and football have lost one hell of a guy. Enjoy you sleep Colin.

PS I would be only too willing to provide information from my time as Chairman to anyone writing a piece acknowledging Colin's service to Clitheroe FC for the local media.

A true stalwart of the club, who will be sadly missed. Goodness knows how many hours of his life he devoted to the club.

Always used to enjoy his visits to the Top Side on match days, especially as he looked to wind everyone up with his dry sense of humour!

RIP Colin Wilson.

RIP Colin. You made a massive contribution to Clitheroe Football Club and will be missed, but remembered. Some great articles of the Evo-Stik, NWCFL and other websites.

Very sad to hear of Colin's passing. As secretary of Clitheroe F.C Colin held what was without doubt the most responsible position at the club. Another great loss to the club and my condolences go to all his family. I hope the club do something in his memory. R.I.P Colin...... Him upstairs know has a club secretary to go with his groundsman.
