Maidenhead United FC Hertiage Site

Maidenhead United FC Heritage Collection

This website is dedicated to the memory of Richard Jackson – a loyal supporter and former committee member who passed away suddenly on Saturday, 8th September 2007, aged 62. Richard undertook endless tasks on behalf of the Football Club and typeset every syllable in the first two books on my behalf and without his invaluable contribution, these could not have been produced.
