A truly wonderful Man and a pilar in the community ♥️You were loved by so many, May you rest in peace 🕊️

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our treasured coach, Robin Parris. Robin, the guiding light of Oxford Blackbirds Under 9's, leaves behind a legacy of dedication, passion, and inspiration that will forever resonate within our club. Not only was he an exceptional coach, but also a beacon of kindness in our community, championing all that was good on the Blackbird Leys Estate.

All teams from Oxford Blackbirds will be performing a minute's applause before kick-off in honor of Robin this weekend, and we extend a warm invitation to all football teams to join us in this heartfelt tribute. While it is a tragedy to have lost such a wonderful soul, we choose to celebrate Robin's life and are incredibly grateful for the time we had with this exceptional man who enriched our club and community.

Robin's infectious zest for life touched the hearts of everyone he met, and his spirit will continue to live on in our memories. As we mourn this great loss, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they navigate through this challenging time. Rest peacefully, Coach Robin. Your presence will always be felt in our hearts. 🕊️💔
