Gil Merrick

A memorial service is being held at St. Andrew's next Sunday (14 March) to commemorate Gil Merrick's life.

During the memorial, family, friends and past players will share their memories of Gil and we want you to be part of this.

Therefore we are asking all supporters to share their memories of the great man himself so that they can be read out on the day.

Did you watch him as a player, witness his 1963 Blues side lift the League Cup or even meet him after he retired from football?

If so, we'd like to hear from you. Please send your memories, along with your full name, to the club by contacting Helen Tims at helen.tims@bcfc.com

As many memories as possible will be read out during Sunday's service, full details of which can be found here.
