"It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that John Mitchell father of former club captain Lyndon Mitchell passed away last week.

John was a great supporter of the Crocs for many years and was regularly seen on the touchline with his mate Keith Beverley home and away, and they often braved the coach trips back from the North East.

His funeral will take place on Friday 17th July at 11.15am at Park Wood Crematorium and his family have invited you back to The Old Crossleyans afterwards."
