In Memoriam

A place for Spartans fans and club figures to be remembered by their friends and family.


Ian Jackson (6/7/1964 – 15/09/2021)

A beloved brother and father with a heart of pure gold. One of the original Delaval Spartans and awayday regulars, Ian is sorely missed on the terraces, on the bus and in the bar.


Gray Mullen (2/5/1969 – 3/1/2025)

A beloved son, father, husband, uncle and much more, Gray was the founder of the Cannock Spartans – touring the country for over 25 years following the club. A regular away from home for many years, Gray will be sorely missed.


John Johnson (30/08/1963 – 10/3/2025)

A husband, father, grandfather and loyal Spartan – John was an incredibly friendly individual, who always loved to chat football and watch as much of it as he could – following Spartans to every random corner of the country.


Joe Wake (21/10/1960 – 20/9/2024)

Born in Blyth, Joe was known as one of the ‘Kettering’ Spartans’ over the last few decades, following the lads up and down the country along with Coventry and Cannock lads – while still making regular pilgrimages up to Croft Park.
