Hallam are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the clubs honorary president Uriah Rennie.

A trailblazer on and off the pitch who support and council at Sandygate will be sorely missed. Uriah Rennie was a highly respected figure in English football and the Sheffield community.

He was not only the first Black referee in the Premier League, officiating over 300 matches, but also a dedicated community leader, recently serving as Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
