It is with sadness we bring you news of the passing of former Dulwich Player Eric Allinson.

Eric’s son Paul told us “Dad played for Dulwich back in the day and he absolutely loved the club”
“Dad didn’t have much when he passed but what he did have was an extensive collection of football programmes (literally thousands) and football books. I currently have 20+ boxes of lever arch files in my house filled with football memorabilia!”
“We’re having a celebration of life for him at Westerham Golf Club in Kent on Sunday 29th September from 12-6pm to remember his life and allow people to tell stories and have beer etc. “ Dad loved this idea over a traditional funeral.
