The funeral of the late Alun Wyn Mummery takes place tomorrow (Saturday)

The funeral of North Wales football legend Alun Wyn Mummery will be held in his native Llanfairpwll, Ynys Môn, this Saturday, January 7.

Mr Mummery, aged 80, passed away peacefully on December 22 at Ysbyty Gwynedd in the presence of his family after a short illness.

Tributes have flooded in from those who knew this highly-respected and much-loved football administrator and local government councillor.

His participation in football dated back to 1959, when he first became secretary of Llanfairpwll Football Club whilst a player until they disbanded in 1963.

Alun went on to work at Bangor City before returning as secretary of his home club in the 1980-81 season, having helped them reform in the early 1970s.

Over the years Alun was instrumental in ensuring Llanfairpwll won numerous fair play awards in all the leagues they have played in.

In 2012 came a major personal highlight when he won the prestigious Welsh Football Trust’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

A community councillor for more than half a century, he also served as a county councillor for Llanfairpwll, Menai Bridge, Star and Penmynydd.

He represented Plaid Cymru on Anglesey County Council’s Aethwy ward and was Portfolio Holder for Housing, including Community Safety.

A village man through and through, he also spent many years as a school governor.

In 2017, he was honoured by the Gorsedd of the Bards at the Anglesey National Eisteddfod.

He became an honorary Druid – Blue robe – for services to the nation.
