00:00At the end of this week, the club are absolutely devastated to know the passing of our beloved
00:04collegiate friend, Ken Blackmore, also known to many as Trouble Ken.
00:09Ken, who had followed the club since his early years, earned his affectionate nickname from
00:12his days running the club's supporters' coaches to away fixtures.
00:16Ken's unwavering love and dedication to the club stretch way beyond his attendance at
00:20both home and away matches.
00:21He would often be seen around the ground with his trolley of tools or heard on the radio
00:25assisting the commentary.
00:26Last season, Ken watched his beloved Corley win and play at Wembley for the first time
00:31on their history.
00:32He was able to celebrate with the players and his fellow colleagues on the pitch for Corcoran
00:35Stadium the following Monday.
00:37Ken was loved by everyone, and it really is true what they say, every club needs a Ken.
00:43And we just feel so lucky and so fortunate that this Ken was ours.
00:46Rest easy, mate.
00:47You will be missed forever.
00:49Please join us in a little bit of joy to celebrate our training.
