It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Tony McClure, lifelong member of Peterborough Rugby Club.

Tony was more than just a player he dedicated countless hours to the club in many roles: Mini and Juniors Chair, coach of boys, girls and senior sides, Vets captain, tour organiser, and the heartbeat of so many unforgettable club moments. A true larger than life character, Tony's humour, passion, and love for the game left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

Beyond PRUFC, Tony also served as Chairperson for East Midlands Mini and Junior Rugby Association (EMMJRA), supporting community rugby across the East Midlands.

Away from the pitch, Tony was a devoted husband, father and grandfather carrying the same warmth and generosity into every part of his life.

His legacy will live on in the stories, the laughter, and the community he helped to build at PRUFC. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Funeral Details

Friday 10th October @4pm, Peterborough Crematorium.

Dress code: Club colours, rugby shirts!

Following the service, family and friends will gather to celebrate Tony's life at his second home - Peterborough Rugby Club, Second Drove, Fengate.

Our thoughts and love are with Tony's family and friends at this sad time.
