It is with sincere regret and a great deal of sadness that I write to inform you all of the sudden and very tragic news of the passing of Julie Fothergill.

Julie was a long serving member of staff having been involved in local football for a very long time.

Many of you will have come across Julie when dealing with the office and she will be remembered for her soft smile and quietly spoken demeanour.

Julie was a valuable member of staff and a wonderful supporter of the Sheffield and Hallamshire County FA.

Her immense contributions to local football will be greatly missed by all of us.

Further information will be communicated when details have been received regarding funeral arrangements.

We offer our sincere condolences to Julie's Husband Geoff and all their family.
