Just had an e-mail from Tony. Not good news I am afraid. He has asked me to post the following messages on the board "The latest prognosis is that I will only last 3 or four more weeks. When the time comes, my son Stuart will email you to tell you that I’ve gone. He will then email you again to let you know funeral and donation arrangements." Nothing I can add to this really. I hope it is more than a few weeks before I have to post again.

I hope T.K's last days are as pain-free as possible, and that he can share as many happy memories with his loved ones, as he can in that time... Sad news.

Terribly sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tony and his family.
 You can see the ball go past them, or the man, but you'll never see both man and ball go past at the same time. So if the ball goes past, the man won't, or if the man goes past, they'll take the ball

Find peace my friend.
 I APOLOGISE UNRESERVEDLY TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON ON THIS FORUM WHO HAS FELT LET-DOWN BY MY INIMICABLE AND DEPLORABLE BEHAVIOUR OF OCTOBER 28th. 2009. ESPECIALLY TO BRIAN, WHO IS A MARVELLOUS GENTLEMAN AND IS THE LAST PERSON HERE WHO SHOULD HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SUCH UNDESERVED PERSONAL CHARACTER-ASSASSINATION. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT A PRIVATE PERSONAL APOLOGY WAS SENT, BUT WAS SEEN INSUFFICIENT. FAIR ENOUGH.

I'm sure everyone here's thoughts are with Tony and the whole Kempster family, and still hoping at this late stage that a miracle cure can be found. It puts other people's presumed problems into perspective. -- Richard

Tony has put a brave face on his illness and everyone knew this news would come some day but even when you half expect it you know it is still a shock and a great loss. This Website will remain as a legacy to Tony Kempster.

Nothing more to add unfortunately, other than my extreme sorrow at reading this. It's tough to find a man that has contributed more to Non League Football than Tony, I can only wish him best wishes and peace.
