Sad news concerning Chesterfield lad and former Matlock Town joint manager Glenn Kirkwood.
He has passed away aged just 47. He also had spells at Heanor and Worksop amongst others.
RIP Glenn.

Very sad news.

I knew Glenn and you genuinely couldn?t wish to meet a nicer man or a bigger Town fan.

Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

RIP Kirky

Glenn was a really nice lad as is all the family. My thoughts are with his partner Kerry and the kids, his mum and the rest of the family at this sad time. RIP Kirky.
Onwards & Upwards!

He battled for several months against cancer and sadly passed last week. He will be missed by a large number of people and I?m glad I had his friendship over the last few years. Helped run a few youth football teams for Wingerworth JSA and was a huge town fan. Wingerworth JSA will think of a fitting tribute to him. Catch you later Glenn mate. X

I?ve just come across this and thought I?d share it:

Organised by Wingerworth JSA, Some of Glenn?s friends are walking from the town to Donny on the 28th September for the game.

All the best. My son plays with Glenn?s youngest Isaac for WJSA and their coach Dave is walking too. You?ll all smash it and enjoy that pint when it comes!

Just been on the Donny Rovers forum (Viking Chat) and they?ve posted a link to the just giving page on their Chesterfield thread. Quite a few have donated already. They seem a sound bunch of supporters. Should be a good day on Saturday.

A quick update for you all. We are receiving quite a lot of traction from across lower league clubs and have had some interest from radio shows and vlogs. We have now surpassed the ?2.5k mark - trying to get to ?3k. Please spread the link as much as you can. Thanks all.

Thanks mate, only ?175 away from ?3k. If you see 15 blokes keeled over in a pub before hand (and not through booze), help us up and maybe give us a piggy back to our seats.

Thank you again all. Support has been phenomenal. We hoped for ?1k to begin with, we are now ?150 away from an astonishing ?4k. Brilliant to see people coming together. 5 hours until set off. COYB
