That's absolutely true mate.. a Coventry gent who took the club to his heart!!
Just to add as well that he always came down to the club after the match to face the fans during his tenure.. regardless of whether they were good, bad or terrible and never shirked what he saw as his responsibility.
RIP and my thoughts go out to his family at this time.

This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.
I thought it was Widnes?
[quote="BIGAL1"]All games are winnable, whats hard to understand about that.
Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

RIP Tony. Can't add much to what has been posted really. Great guy and a great servant to the club.

So, so sorry to hear this. Tony was a true gentleman who led the Widnes club through some stormy seasons and back to the top flight. Always remeber partying with him and his wife in Top of the Town after that first game in Super League against St. Helens. He gave his club tie away to a lad who asked for it on the dancefloor.
He never ducked any questions from the fans and always came on the message board win or lose. And when he sold his control of the club to Stephen Vaughan it was for the better of the club. He will be missed by everyone at the club. My heart goes out to his family.
Tony Chambers - Widnes Legend.
