    John Chapman O.B.E. (1932-2026)

    John Chapman O.B.E. (1932-2026)

    We are sad to announce the passing of our former Chairman John Chapman at the age of 93.

    A lifelong supporter of the club, John joined the Executive Board at Fir Park in 1981, where he served five-and-a-half years before being appointed Chairman in 1987.

    At a time when the club was navigating tricky waters from a financial point of view, John began to steady the ship, and by 1990, he had successfully cleared all outstanding debt the club had, securing Motherwell Football Club’s future and stabilising its finances.

    His leadership allowed the club to build ambition in a sensible and stable manner, which was highlighted when the club lifted the Scottish Cup in 1991.

    Success on the pitch was prominent, but John didn’t stop there and began to devise plans to improve Fir Park for supporters, converting out-of-date terracing into all-seater stands.

    Our Chairman for ten years, before stepping down in October 1997, he remained proud of his efforts to stabilise the club he loved so dearly. His dedication and years of service were marked when he was named our Honorary Life President, a title fit for the great man.

    John was awarded the O.B.E. for services to the Scottish meat trade in the 1992 New Year Honours list, and his services to Motherwell Football Club will be remembered for years to come.

    “The Board and staff at Motherwell Football Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Honorary Life President and former Club Chairman John Chapman O.B.E,” Brian Caldwell said.

    “John was a dedicated Motherwell supporter who led the club during a difficult time, but also got to enjoy the fruits of his hard work when we lifted the Scottish Cup in 1991. Fir Park became a far greater experience for supporters due to John’s ideas and plans, with the changes he implemented still important to this very day.

    “John visited Fir Park last October for a match, and it was a poignant day to have him back here. He met Jens Berthel Askou and other members of staff, and it was an honour to have him at the stadium. This a very sad time for everyone associated with Motherwell Football Club and we all pass our sincerest condolences to his son Jamie, daughter Deirdre and all of his family and friends. We will support John’s loved ones during this difficult time.”

    His quiet and subtle leadership was a mark of a great man, who guided our club to safety and allowed it to thrive under his leadership. It’s with great sadness that we announce his passing, and our thoughts remain with his family and friends during this very sad time.

    Rest in peace, John. Thank you for everything you have done for our football club.

    Don’t let it infiltrate you

    Suicidal thoughts and depression can quietly infiltrate your life, influencing every moment, every action, and every day.

    This ongoing struggle can gradually gain control, but it doesn’t have to.

    When you don’t have the strength to take another step, ask those you love to pull you. You’re never alone in this.

    In 2024, there were 704 probable suicide deaths in Scotland. 704 too many. We will keep fighting to help those who need it. Speak up, speak out, be heard.

    Paying our respects

    Paying our respects

    Ahead of our match against St Mirren in the William Hill Premiership on Saturday 3 January, we plan for a minute’s silence to take place once again for Motherwell fans who have passed away in 2025. 

    We are asking fans to submit names of family or friends who have sadly passed away this year. Their names will be displayed on the scoreboard for the minute silence, and will be commemorated in the match programme.

    To submit, email memorial@motherwellfc.co.uk with the first and second name of the person you’d like to be remembered, as well as their year of birth.

    The deadline for this is Monday 22 December at 5pm.

    Santa Dash Returns to Fir Park

    After a successful maiden event at Fir Park 12 months ago, the Daily Mile returned in 2025. 

    This year, Motherwell was the only professional club in the United Kingdom that took part. The event also grew in stature this time round, with over 150 children from Knowetop Primary, Keir Hardie Primary and Fir Park School taking part.

    Promoting physical activity as well as the social and mental health benefits, the children were greeted by the full Motherwell FC first-team squad as they began their laps around the pitch.

    “It’s always such a warm feeling seeing all the children with a smile on their face,” Dawn Middleton said.

    “We are so proud to be the only club in the UK that is taking part in this initiative. We wanted to include even more children than we did 12 months ago. I hope everyone had a wonderful morning.”

    John ‘Dixie’ Deans (1946-2025)

    John ‘Dixie’ Deans (1946-2025)

    We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former player John ‘Dixie’ Deans.

    Bobby Howitt brought Deans to Fir Park in 1965, looking to find more goals in the side. Signed for £100, bringing Deans to Motherwell would prove to be a complete success story, with the forward scoring 30 goals in the 1966/67 campaign, a new post-war record for the club.

    Following relegation to the second tier, Deans’ firepower ensured Motherwell would return to the top-flight at the first time of asking, with the forward pushing the team back to where they belong by scoring 32 goals during the 1968/69 season.

    Making 198 appearances over a six-year spell and scoring 89 goals, Deans will be remembered fondly for his exquisite goalscoring form at Fir Park. He passes away aged 79 years old, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this incredibly sad time.

    Rest in peace, Dixie.

    The Motherwell squad take part in Festive Friends

    Every year, Motherwell FC Community Trust looks to help improve people’s lives in our local community. One of those excellent initiatives is the Festive Friends lunch that takes place at Fir Park. 

    Delivered in partnership with the SPFL Trust, Festive Friends provides a special free Christmas lunch, entertainment, and a welcoming environment for people who may have had a tough year, are looking for social connection or who otherwise may spend the festive season alone. The event continues to grow each year, reflecting the strength of community support and the importance of positive social experiences during the holidays.

    Ravenscraig Ltd, a leading sponsor for the initiative, provided a cash donation of £2,800 to cover the cost of meals for attendees. In an afternoon of laughter and socialising, the Motherwell FC squad were also on hand to help distribute the Christmas lunches and gifts to the attendees in the room before spending some time getting to know those in attendance.

    Ensuring that all costs were covered, Motherwell FC Community Trust was grateful for all support received for the event and hoped that everyone that attended had a lovely afternoon.

    Special thanks must go to New College Lanarkshire for the students who helped serve the meals. A special thanks also to the SPFL Trust for their involvement, as well as Kamen Brown for the entertainment provided.
