Did Brian Henderson pass away some time ago? Believe he was involved in the half time crossbar challenge at Feethams, hitting it twice

Yes he did. Ray Simpson and I interviewed Brian and Ron Greener at Ron's house for the Farewell to Feethams book. Brian was in better health than Ron at the time, but has since passed away.

I remember that, I don't recall him hitting the bar but I do remember him slipping over as he took one, possibly getting hurt.QuakerPete wrote:Did Brian Henderson pass away some time ago? Believe he was involved in the half time crossbar challenge at Feethams, hitting it twice
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

Ken Furphy managed Blackburn when I was over that way. Early 70s. Decent manager. Sad to hear the news.

As kids we would play in the South Park every Saturday up until it was time to go to the match if we were at home. Occasionally Brian Henderson would wander through and have a brief impromptu kick about. Never forget that dreadful night that ended his career with a broken leg against Stockport.
