Ronald Crane - Rest in Peace

May 11, 2025

A tribute to our friend, Ron.

It is with the deepest sorrow Knowle FC must share the sad news of the passing of Ronald Crane. For the last three years, Ron has been the Men’s First Team Match Secretary, but his time in football extends over many decades, many clubs and touched many people.

 

His dedication and passion for football were beyond question. His warmth of welcome to visiting teams and officials, along with the ever-present biscuits ensured he was well known and liked within the football community. His dry and, at times, wicked sense of humour, was matched only by his attention to detail and sense of right and wrong.

 

He was, to all at the club, a larger-than-life character. The perfect example of a person who without which , the game of football would be unable to function, nor be as rich as it is. Ron’s passing will leave a massive hole in our lives and hearts.

 

But most importantly of all, our condolences, our thoughts, and our deepest love go to his family. You shared Ron with us, and we are forever in your debt.
