Re: Ken Harper dies
Seem's strange that Ken had the little bit of publicity of his times following BAFC only recently published in the EM & then this sad new's now reaches us.
RIP Ken and codolences to his family.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.
Re: Ken Harper dies
I was actually shocked to learn of this news from the EM, which is perhaps a little incongruous bearing in mind the age Ken was. I suppose that's because I got the impression he was still quite active despite his age, with still driving a car and getting along to watch matches etc etc. What a supporter! I believe it was 84 years following the club; he certainly deserves a special place in the pages of Barrow AFC's history. RIP Ken and condolences to all family members and friends.
Re: Ken Harper dies

Re: Ken Harper dies
Sad news indeed. Nice he had his moment of recognition for his years of supporting the club and a lovely gesture by those who had his name plaque positioned in a reserved parking space in the entrance to the club. R.I.P. to a special gentleman.

Rest in peace Ken, hope you will be watching us to safety!
