Our club has lost a Top Man, during his
football career at Wythall Juniors, Ian
was a gentleman on & off the field, & our
annual tournament will never be the same
again.
Always willing to help out Ian will be sadly
missed by all players & parents at Wythall.
A close friend may have been lost but will
never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Ian

Ian
was one of life's true gentlemen, & genuinely
nice man. He was missed by all at Wythall
Juniors so much when he left the club 2 years
ago, that he was recruited back into the fold to
run our tournaments!! We couldn't have
done it without him - & don't know how we're
going to sort this years tournament without him
either. Ian, thank you for gracing us with
your great presence, you were a lovely man &
will be greatly missed by all of us.
Rest in peace mate
To
Sue & family - You are in our thoughts &
prayers, in this sad time - God bless you.

Ian
Sanders was one of the most caring & honest
person I have ever met. We as a family are
proud to say we knew him & had the privilege to
call him our friend, he will be missed more than
he will ever know.
Our
thoughts are with Sue, Nick & Jason at such a
tragic time.
Rest
in peace

Thanks to everyone for the support
and the kind messages for my dad.
Although it's extremely difficult
and sad, and no words can express
what a loss this is ... both myself
and the rest of the family want his
funeral to be a celebration of his
life rather than a sombre occasion
all the way through. (I think we'd
all agree that he'd want it to be
this way).
He thought the world of the club,
the coaches, the parents and most of
all, all the lads playing for the
various age groups.
Thanks again guys and all the best,
we'll see some of you on Thursday.
Nick Sanders (and family)

I`m very saddened to hear of the passing
away of Ian Sanders.
My team have been to the last two Wythall
tournaments and have always been made to
feel very welcome by Ian througout the day.
He always took time to have a laugh and joke
with the kids and managers.
Although i didn`t no Ian on a personal level
i am very saddened to hear this news.
My thoughts are with Ian`s family.
