JOHN GARDNER BEM
Northampton Town Football Club were deeply saddened to learn of the death of John Gardner BEM, who passed away over the weekend.
A former Mayor of Northampton, John served on both the Borough and County Council and he was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for his Meritorious Service.
John was a great supporter of Northampton Town Football Club and was a season ticket holder at Sixfields, following the team both home and away.
He was also a great friend to many Cobblers supporters having worked for the club as a commissionaire at Sixfields.
"This is very sad news indeed," said Northampton Town Chairman David Cardoza.
"I knew John both personally and professionally and you will never meet a more honourable and decent gentleman.
"Myself and all of the many friends he had at Sixfields will miss him enormously. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time."
