John holroyd our chief scout of many years as sadly passed away, he'd been ill for a while I spoke to him 3 weeks ago and he was in great spirits knowing he'd not long left. A fantastic bloke and servant to our club. It was a privilege to call you my friend. RIP BIG MAN

Been the top scout for the club for as long as I can recall. Did an incredible job when you consider what he was up against not least the clubs poor reputation with youngsters through the 80's and 90's in particular. I know it's the coach and CEO who sign the players but John seemed to know the sort of players who would suit the club. He knew we didn't have a sack full of cash so he seemed to concentrate on the youngsters with potential who wanted an opportunity rather than the superstars. We will miss that.
RIP

A sad loss, we met John several times in Perpignan, as he traveled by train through France. He made a holiday out of the trip. A sad day RIP John

Wake will then follow at Stanley Rangers if anyone fancies raising a glass in his memory.
Cracking bloke was John and will be a big miss for the rugby league community.

He certainly was.
I remember him very fondly from my days at Stanley, but we were also cricketing team mates for several years down at Newton Hill.
I intend to go down and pay my respects, and also raise a glass for him.
According to the Stanley Rangers page, it is at 10am
