RIP Tony Kempster

I was very sad to hear the news of Tony Kempster's death last night.

Tony was founder and author of online football bible, www.tonykempster.co.uk. This site had the lot - statistical information for all the leagues in British football right the way down to county leagues.

It was an unpaid labour of love that Tony, a fan of football particular in the non-league maintained regularly. Tony had many friends in football (sadly I never got to know the guy) and underwent an incredible battle against cancer right to the end. His dignified accounts at http://health.tonykempster.co.uk/ are quite heartbreaking.

From all fans of football: thank you Tony, may you rest in peace.
