Just heard the sad news that former player and lifelong supporter Tony Hallam has passed away.
Tony played as a left back in the mid 60s before joining Worksop Town.
He continued to support the club throughout his lifetime and was a well known traveller to away games with the Bridge Inn along with his wife Maureen.
RIP Tony and sincere condolences to Maureen, family and friends.

Always known as our first apprentice, he was unfortunate that the man retaining the left back spot was the ever reliable Gerry Sears. I used stand near him on the old Kop, was good to see an ex player as such a loyal fan.
Sad news and condolences to his friends and family.

Wondering if I've stood near them not realising it was Tony, the picture on twitter is how I remember him.

Likewise I always enjoyed talking to Tony about football present day town as well as the old days when I met him walking in Whittington

RIP Tony lets hope it is not too long now before you are looking down on us being back in the Football League

Really sad news. As others have said, Tony was a genuine and first class guy.

Condolences to Maureen.

Didn’t personally know Tony but recognise him instantly from the pic above.
Safe journey fellow Spireite.

Such sad news , knew Tony for many years . When I was sat in the disabled area with my dad Tony and Maureen used to sit right in front of us. Condolences to Maureen. A top bloke was Tony R.I.P.

[clarevoyant.]

Sad news indeed. Saw a lot of his games in the old Central League and Tony was good enough to have made a lot more first team appearances, but as '60/70s Spireite' says was unfortunate to have the reliable "Gerry Sears in front of him.
Always had time for a chat be it in the West Stand or a Bridge trip. Tony you represented the Spireites so well when chatting about your beloved team.

RIP

RIP Tony and God Bless and Comfort His family. He was a cracking fullback and he was a True Blue. Had many a chat with him at away matches, shopping and in the street. What a great bloke he was.

[The Rev.]

RIP Tony, a good friend and former team mate, sincere condolences to Maureen & family.

[Ron Powell]

So sad to hear that Tony has passed away. He was a teammate from from the mid 60's. Such a gentleman who was always there for others both on and off the pitch. I have enjoyed his company at games both home and away. Never a better night than the farewell evening at Saltergate. Condolences to Maureen and his family.Sam.

RIP

Hopefully a minute's recognition at our next home game.

Could someone please post details of the funeral, too?

I'd like to pay my respects even if from afar.

Thoughts with Maureen and the Hallam family - Chris.

[spirette]

Very sad to read this. Myself and my dad used to talk to him and his wife on away days. He always made time for a chat either at games or if we bumped into him in town. My thoughts and sympathies are with his family at this sad time.

[Chrishallam]

I would like to thank everyone for the kind words that they have said about my father ...as soon as funeral arrangements are sorted I will post on here ...
Regards Chris
