Lifelong Huddersfield Town Football fan, Roger Mark Brook Nicholson (known as Mark Nicholson) died aged 65 on Thursday, 11 June, at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

Mark was born and raised in Edgerton, and for the last 10 years of his life lived in Fenay Bridge on the grounds of Woodsome Hall Golf Club where he was a longstanding member and until more recently, competed in and played copious amounts of golf with friends.
He was a longstanding HTAFC season ticket holder and would rarely miss a game whether it be at home or away.
Mark attended Mount School and St David’s Preparatory School, before moving on to Worksop College.

Mark’s career spanned 41 years in banking where he gave nearly 30 years of service to Lloyds until he was headhunted by Royal Bank of Scotland in 2001. Before his retirement in 2014, Mark held the role of Senior Business Manager at the Huddersfield branch of RBS, managing a portfolio of 320 small business customers to over-achieve core and non-core income targets.

In July 1994, Mark married Lizzie Robinson and raised three step-daughters, Xanah, Daisy and Molly whom he loved and adored dearly.
