Football team relaunches in memory of much-loved Sheffield Wednesday fan who drowned on holiday

Paul Carder, who died while on a Caribbean cruise in January, aged just 63, was the chairman of Brinsworth Whitehill Junior Football Club and devoted countless hours to supporting junior football during his life.

The club has now relaunched its former men’s team in his memory.

It will be called Brinsworth Whitehill SPC FC – with the SPC standing for Sir Paul Carder, as Paul was affectionately known.

Paul’s son Lewis, who has taken over Don Valley Windows, the firm his father founded, said: “This is something I as Paul’s son am really looking forward too and I can’t thank the lads enough for pushing this to happen.

“Also a big thanks to Ian Walker at Brinsworth Whitehill for making this happen very smoothly. I’m sure we will do Paul proud on the pitch.”
