ALAN SIMPSON DAY

On Saturday, we will pay tribute to ‘Mr Hampton’ at our home game against Hornchurch

Alan was one of the greatest British comedy writers, but also Club President for 50 (FIFTY!) years. During that time, he was integral to the fortunes of our football club.

We’ll be paying tribute to Alan in the run-up to Saturday’s game at the Bev and on the day. If you have any stories or memories of a Hampton legend, please email seb.white@hamrichfc.com

And don’t forget to get your ticket in advance for what should be a special day at the Bev

I'm not sure how you could find out but it would be interesting to know if there has been a longer serving President of any football club in the World.

A quick google search finds Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa (Porto) listed as the longest with 41 years but that is presumably only looking at the top levels.

Whole squad fit for tomorrow except one. Yes, that’s right.
