Bishop Auckland FC are saddened to hear of the death of our former player Frank Palmer. Frank a left winger was a member of the team that lost 4-0 against local rivals Willington in the 1950 FA Amateur Cup Final. Our sympathy goes to Frank’s son Kevin and all his family and friends.

A minutes silence will be held at tonight’s game against Morpeth.
