Sadly, David Owen passed away on New Years’ Eve. As a long-standing member and supporter of the club, he will be missed by all. For now, we just wanted to notify you all, we will let you all know once the funeral details have been confirmed.
David Owen
17th October 1943- 31st December 2021
He was elected as a member of the club on 7th November 1966. A talented centre, he also played senior rugby for Wilmslow. Unfortunately, a serious injury cut his playing career short. A loyal supporter of the club, he was elected Hon. Life Vice President in 1991.
David has suffered serious health issues during the last five years, but has battled on bravely and was present on the touchline as recently as 18th September 2021 to witness "his team" beating Wigan. We will be holding a minute silence when Wigan play at Ford Lane on Saturday.
We would like to send our thoughts and prayers to David’s family down in Wales.
