Like all Bury supporters, everyone at Gigg Lane are shocked and saddened to hear the news regarding the sudden death of Keith Alexander today.

Keith joined the club before the 2007/08 season as Director of Football working alongside then manager Chris Casper.  Unfortunately the move to Gigg Lane did not see out the season and Keith left us in January 2008.

A club spokesman said this afternoon:  "Keith Alexander was one of the most genuine people you could work with, to know and to have the pleasure to meet.  There are a lot of heavy hearts around Gigg Lane this afternoon and as a club, we wish to pass our condolences' to Keith's immediate family, his friends and all supporters' players and officials at Macclesfield Town Football Club."

Today is a sad day for football
