Very sad, a real great non-league football man.

Thoughts with his family,friends and supporters.

Very sad news indeed, we've sent our condolences and our Chairman Doug White rounded off Wednesday night's programme notes with:

 

"On the subject of popularity, the passing of one Alan Boon last weekend brings this footnote to my wishes for his recovery in our pre-season programme. He was a popular and committed chairman of Staines Town who deservedly gloried in their FA Cup runs in recent years. If your reading this from that unknown place above, thanks for keeping your promise of the pre-season friendly, and I promise you that nobody has done more for non-league football in this area than you."

 

RIP Alan...

Very sad news indeed. I spent a few really enjoyable seasons at Staines Town and found Alan to be a really passionate football man, a great chairman and above all a really nice guy. Condolences to the Boon family.

I stood and chatted to him for nearly an hour at a Staines Bedfont Green game without knowing who he was. A generally nice guy who'll be sadly missed.
