Barry Hindson
It is with great regret we share the news of the passing of Heaton Stan trustee, Barry Hindson.
Barry was a highly respected voice of non league football and hugely supportive of our Club over the years, and will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts are with Barry’s family and friends.
Here is a clip recorded by Brian Pratt shortly after our play off final win over Tow Law Town.
RIP Barry.
