A woman thought to be Worcester City’s oldest active supporter has died aged 93.

Eugenie Munslow, known as Jean, had been supporting the club since the 1957/58 season. She had stood in the same spot in the Main Stand at St George’s Lane for 30 of those years and went to every home game until Saturday, January 21.

Son Tim Munslow said: “At the age of 93 she stood for 90 minutes. She didn’t like sitting down to her football. She liked to stand because then she got the atmosphere and the banter.

“The only concession she made was that in the last couple of years she sat down at half-time with a cup of tea.”

A minute’s silence will be held in her honour before the 3pm kick-off of the City v Blyth Spartans match on Saturday.

Mr Munslow hopes to lay some flowers at her favourite spot.

Mrs Munslow, of Church Lane, Hallow, near Worcester, first supported Grimley United, but gave her allegiance to City when the Grimley club folded.

Mr Munslow, of Broad-heath, said: “Grimley United got to a cup final which was held at Worcester City’s ground. So when the club folded she had been to the ground and decided to follow them. She loved everything about the club, the game itself, the companionship.

“She was there when Worcester City beat Liver-pool 2-1 in the FA Cup in 1959. She stood on a brick to try to watch the match but there were no many people there I had to give her a running commentary on the game.

“She loved them through thick and thin. She was indomitable. Nothing would stop her going to her football.”

Mrs Munslow was born in Birmingham in 1918 and came to Worcester when she married Geoff Munslow in 1940.

The couple moved to Hallow in 1947 where they had four children. Mrs Munslow was a telephonist during the Second World War and was at work in Coventry when the city was bombed.

She was among operators who immediately suspected the attack when calls to the city stopped.

She later worked at Kay’s and Metalbox in Worcester and Stokes Bomford in Broadheath.

Mrs Munslow also supported Worcestershire County Cricket Club and was life president of Hallow Cricket Club.

Colin Layland, City’s vice-chairman, said: “She will be sadly missed.”

Mrs Munslow died on Monday.
