Maidenhead United were saddened to hear of the recent passing of former player Colin Edward Hurley on the 9th December 2025. He peacefully departed from this world at Foxleigh Grove nursing home.
Born on 6th February 1936, Colin lived in Maidenhead all his life and played football for Maidenhead United. Colin is in the back row of the attached picture, fourth from the left, taken on the day that United became Berks & Bucks Senior Cup winner for the twelfth time in 1961. In the same season the Magpies became the Corinthian League champions.
In all, Colin made 33 appearances in the MUFC First Team and scored 4 goals between 1959 and 1963. Between 1955 and 1964, Colin made 81 known appearances for the Maidenhead United reserve team, scoring 6 goals. In 1962/63, Colin was a regular member of the reserve team which came close to winning a ‘double’ – winning the Corinthian League reserve section and becoming Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup runners-up.
A service will be held on Friday 23rd January at Reading Crematorium (All Hallows Rd, Caversham, Reading, RG4 5LP) at 11:30, with a celebration of his life being held afterwards at The Cricketers pub, Littlewick Green. Friends and family are welcome to attend.
