In memory of Ivor James Berry, 14/04/54 - 15/04/24. Those of us who knew Ivor would know that his true passion in life was football, not the bright lights and big money of the premier league but grassroots, community football.

For several years dad volunteered at Whitley Bay FC, a small non league club founded in 1897 and the most successful British club in FA Vase history. In lieu of flowers we would ask for any donations to be made directly to the club in support of their youth and grassroots programs or via this page where all proceeds will go to the club and their ongoing commitment to youth development and community sport.
