CLUB STATEMENT: PAUL HARRIS

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that our matchday reporter Paul Harris passed away yesterday after a long illness. Paul has been battling illness for many months but continued to ensure he made it to matches both home and away and ensured that his report was always sent within hours of the final whistle. His last match watching Hitchin Town was a few weeks ago at Beaconsfield Town.

A full tribute will follow in the coming days.

We will be holding a minutes applause before tomorrow’s match against Leighton Town to celebrate Paul’s life, mark his fantastic contribution at Hitchin Town over the last 7 years and at Dunstable Town before that and to recognise everything he has achieved outside of football.

We know so many of you will miss him on a matchday and also miss getting the chance to read his unique match reports on a Sunday morning.

Here is our original website article from when Paul first joined the club in 2018: https://hitchintownfc.club/the-man-behind-the-pipe/
