Linnets' Fans' Forum

Thought I would place a post letting supporters of KLFC know that sadly Tony Chilleystone has passed away.

Although I was only very young at the time I do remember Tony playing for Kings Lynn. Tony signed for Kings Lynn as a 20 year old in 1959. I believe he stayed until the late 1960s as he is listed as being Downham Market FC manager from 1969 to 1972.

R.I.P Tony

Anyone remember a tall striker called Whittacker he signed whilst Lynn manager, allegedly looked good whilst warming up on the opposition bench!

Just been released.

John Whitney played about five games for Lynn back in the 2001-2002 season. A very accomplished central defender as I recall but I vaguely remember a serious knee injury accounting for his brief stay with Lynn.

Now in charge of Walsall
