In Memoriam

This page is in remembrance of those Purps fans who are sadly no longer with us. As part of Project L10 there will be a Purps memorial space created to honour these departed fans, and to ensure that they are still present at each of our home games.

Vincent Davies

Vinny loved coming to watch The Purps with his son Chris and a wider group of friends.

He always said that he loved coming to watch COLFC, as it reminded him of the old days following Liverpool everywhere and having a great time with the lads and a good sing song.

RIP Vinny

Ronnie was an ever present for the Purps (other than due to illness) since the very formation of the club.

He had a wealth of knowledge of the Non-League scene and always had good insight to pass onto the club Directors.

One of the "Congleton 9" Ronnie had fought off several bouts of Cancer and was still insisting as recently as last Saturday that he was "Going to watch the Purps" - RIP Ronnie
