Wokingham Town Football Club’s Combined Counties League match this afternoon versus Bedfont Sports will take place in memory of a club legend.
Clive McNelly, who was also the landlord of The White Horse pub in Wokingham, passed away on December 4 aged 60.
In the late 1990s, Clive became actively involved with Wokingham Town FC. Starting as a youth team manager for boys and girls at the under-7 level, he later progressed to managing the reserve team and eventually the first team. During his tenure, Clive led the club to multiple trophies and earned numerous accolades, including several ‘Clubman of the Year’ awards.
Instead of its normal entry fee, the club is operating a ‘pay what you want’ entrance to its match at Lowther Road, with all proceeds being collected in memory of Clive.
Hospital Radio Reading is also broadcasting its Saturday Sport show live from the game.
Those outside the Royal Berks hospital can listen online through the TuneIn app or via www.hrreading.org.uk.
