LOCAL football has lost one of its most popular characters, following the passing of highly revered Altarnon Football Club Secretary Pam Sandercock on Monday, August 12.

Pam and her husband Mike have devoted their lives to the running of Altarnun Football Club — or Altarnon as she preferred to call the team, St Nona being Altarnun Church's dedicated Saint — and she has held the secretary's position since the 1980s (1988 at least).
