We were delighted to hear overnight that Abbey Hey Secretary and former NWCFL Management Committee member Tony MacAllister has been awarded a BEM (known as the British Empire Medal) in the King's Birthday Honours list. Tony has been honoured for his Charitable work and his services to football. He was telling us today that he was first given the news back in late May and he mentioned today that he had to sit on that news and not tell a soul until this announcement.
Tony's achievement was highlighted and celebrated today by League Chairman, Paul Lawler who informed Tony's friends and colleagues around the NWCFL at the Leagues AGM that is taking place in Blackpool today.
Congratulations Tony!
