MARK Maddox’s status as an Altrincham legend has been officially confirmed after he was made a life vice-president of the club, moments after Tuesday night’s home draw with Hinckley United.
The popular and wholehearted former Alty defender, currently fighting a typically courageous battle against motor neurone disease, was surrounded by old team-mates such as Gary Talbot, Chris Adams and Gary Scott and former manager Graham Heathcote, as he received the honour from chairman Grahame Rowley.
Clearly taken aback by a presentation that had been kept secret, Maddox said: "Everyone knows what this club means to me, and this is another great gesture that just shows the fantastic support I’ve had from everyone here."
