Edmond Fisher, a life-long supporter of York City, has died after a short illness, aged 64.
Mr Fisher, who was born in Stillingfleet, for whom he played cricket, was educated at Fulford School. He then joined Richardson and Trotter auctioneers and estate agents before going to Thomas Cook's travel agents in Coney Street. He later worked for Pickford's travel agents in Piccadilly before his final move to Nestl Rowntree travel department where he was employed up to his death.
Mr Fisher, who watched his first City game when he was seven, had followed the club's fortunes for more than 50 years and was a season ticket holder in the main stand.
He leaves his wife Pamela and son Jonathan. The funeral service is at St Everilda's Church, Nether Poppleton tomorrow at 10.30am followed by cremation.
