Bury is making their way to the top of League Two with impressive performances every week, the team of David Flitcroft has been collecting points almost every time a match is played. These opening 12 matches of the season have been splendid for Bury as the club is turning things around from the previous campaign when they were at the brink of being relegated and now are making a genuine charge for the top spots of the English League and could even be on their way on earning a promotion spot.
All of the positive results that Bury has been collecting have surely been bringing a smile to the supporters of the club which have recently witnessed the passing away of Fred Mason.
Fred Mason passed away on September 26 after suffering from a long illness.
David Flitcroft expressed his grief and mourning concerning the passing away of Fred Mason, the former president of Bury as the coach of the English club.
“The team talk before the game was about Fred and we had the black armbands on as well, but unfortunately we couldn’t get it. It’s a sad thing to say, but I think he would have been happy last week to see Bury top of the league and the performance we put in after the few years when the club went astray. Massive sadness obviously for the loss of a great man I am just glad we were able to give him the sendoff against Burton that he fully deserved.” Flitcroft said.
Players, fans and staff members have expressed their own emotions in relation to the death of Fred Mason with twitter messages and statements through the press. The final match that Fred Mason attended was Bury’s match against Burton Albion as he witnessed his club claiming the victory and move to the top of League Two.
