Sadly a good pal of mine Richard Friend who will be well known to many in the Stowmarket locality and indeed in the surrounding area has died. Richard was a real football man playing for Stowmarket Town and Haughley United and also managed Haughley. He was an Ipswich Town season ticket holder of late and has fought cancer with great dignity for some time now. Only a couple of weeks ago he was in good spirits but sadly this ghastly disease beat him. A really top bloke who will be sadly missed by his family and the footballing fraternity. RIP mate.

I played with Richard when he was starting out at Stowupland and later Haughley - hadn’t seen him for many years after I moved away but I remember him well - very very sad to hear of his passing

Sat near Richard at Portman road and always wanted to know how Haughley were getting on, top man who loved football both local and ITFC. Will be sadly missed.
