Ricky Clapperton

Everyone at the club, who knew him, is shocked by the news that Ricky Clapperton has passed away.

Ricky was both a player and a coach here at the Strollers, spanning over 40 years.He was liked and respected not only for his contribution to football but also as a person.He coached at a number of clubs in and around Edinburgh and was always held in high regard.He leaves a big gap at our club, and we know that former players will also be stunned and saddened.

Our thoughts are with his family, especially his son Scott, who also played here, and his many friends.
