So, so sorry to hear this. Tony was a true gentleman who led the Widnes club through some stormy seasons and back to the top flight. Always remeber partying with him and his wife in Top of the Town after that first game in Super League against St. Helens. He gave his club tie away to a lad who asked for it on the dancefloor.



He never ducked any questions from the fans and always came on the message board win or lose. And when he sold his control of the club to Stephen Vaughan it was for the better of the club. He will be missed by everyone at the club. My heart goes out to his family.



Tony Chambers - Widnes Legend.

Just told me dad who's shocked and extremely saddened, tony also sat right in front of me the last timewe went to Blackpool.





A real hero and legend

RIP Tony. Such sad news.

This is very sad news.



Good on him for all he has done for the club. RIP.

I'm absolutely Gutted to hear this news. Tony was a rock for Widnes during some very hard years. He worked so hard and pumped a lot of his own time and money into this club. He was, as has already been stated, a very affable and approachable man and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. I've even swapped pm's with him on the Widnes messageboard - how many chairmen would do that?



The next time I go and take my seat in the South Stand of our wonderful stadium, I'll reflect on just how much work Tony put in to help make this happen. The great youth system we now have was put in place under his stewardship and I'll always thank him for the 4 years of SL RL I enjoyed, thanks in most part, to his efforts off the field.



RIP Tony

A good man and always an absolute gentleman. Very sad news.

Sad news big loss to the game. RIP Tony Chambers

RIP Tony very sad news to hear and at this time of the season when everything is clicking together.



Condolences to Family and Friends

RIP TC

OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO YOU YOU

A very sad loss indeed. RIP sir, you're efforts for the cause will always be remembered.

Very sad news - he was extremely approachable and was always willing to face the fans, even when things were'nt going very well.





I dont think Widnes Vikings would exist today if it was'nt for his efforts.

I'd have thought there would have been a thread on VT about this also. He was a Rugby League man also not just Widnii.
