Remembering Charlie Kirkwood

Lodged by Colin Beattie (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes with deep sadness the passing of Charlie Kirkwood at the age of 71; understands that Charlie was the beloved chairman of Bonnyrigg Rose FC, and had a 60-year association with the club, from a kit boy during its first Junior Cup win in 1966, to committee member in the 1980s and a sponsor through his window cleaning business, to chairman in 2009; notes his unwavering commitment to the club, which, it believes, brought unparalleled success from the brink of liquidation to rising through the leagues into the SPFL; understands that Charlie was a well-respected local hero, who gave the community countless days to remember through their football club; expresses its sincere condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time, and celebrates the lasting legacy that Charlie leaves to Bonnyrigg Rose and Scottish football more widely.
