Everyone at Altrincham Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Maddox, who had, remarkably, lived with Motor Neurone Disease for over 12 years.

Mark was a colossal human being and a true legend of Altrincham Football Club, making over 326 starts and 22 substitute appearances between 1996-2006.

Our deepest condolences to Mark's wife, Jayne and three children, Sonny, Vinny and Bo at this saddest of times for the Maddox family.

Preparations will be made to acknowledge Mark's legendary contribution the club with a minute's applause at this Saturday's home game against Chesterfield FC.
