Kmcalpin Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Sad news. John Chapman has passed away at the age of 93. He oversaw our club during difficult times and had the honour of being charge when we won the cup in 19991. I met him on many occasions and in various settings and always found him to be amiable, pleasant and willing to talk about MFC, the club he loved. I knew he hadn't been in the best of health for some years. Thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. RIP John. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he helped establish Motherwell's reputation as a real family club with traditional values. In some ways it is these values that has set the club apart in the modern era when football clubs have become more distant from it's support. JC was a friend of my Grandfather's and on the few occasions that I met him, he always seemed like a very grounded, nice man who genuinely cared for the club and the community. Sad news. RIP John Chapman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
