Linfield Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and colleague, Andy Kerr MBE.

Andy, who worked closely with Kit Manager Gary Eccles, had only stepped down from his role at the club a short number of years ago and was given the title honorary team attendant to mark his 53 years of service.

Andy, who was the brother of former Chairman Jim Kerr, served under 14 managers in his time working for Linfield. He was made an honorary Vice President and was given life membership of the club upon his retirement.

When the club held its inaugural awards night in 2017 the first recipient of the club’s Merit award was Andy Kerr, given the remarkable service he had given to the club.

There is no doubt that Andy played a huge part of the history of this football club and he will always be fondly remembered by everyone who knows the contribution he has made to the success of this club over many years.

To his brother Jim, the wider family circle and his many friends we send our heartfelt condolences at this sad time.
