Bergara funeral in Sheffield

Last updated : 03 August 2007 By Millersmad Staff
Bergara sadly passed away last Thursday morning following a short illness aged just 64 and has been mourned by football fans across the country.

His funeral will take place at All Saints Church in Totley next Thursday at 2pm with many mourners from the South Yorkshire region expected. Two coach loads of Stockport County fans will also make the journey across the pennines to pay their respects to the man who turned around County's fortunes in the mid nineties.

A minute's silence was held in honour of Bergara, who managed the Millers during the ill fated 96-97 season, before Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Sheffield United, a side he also coached.
