It is with great sadness that Brian Knibb, former director, has passed away from a long standing illness overnight. 

The whole Brakes family sends our deepest thoughts and condolences to Brian’s family and friends.

Brian became a director in 1991 until 1997 whilst the club was mothballed and was part of the few that kept our club afloat in paying our fees to Birmingham FA every year, returning as a director when the club resurrected, and played a vital role in getting the club back up and running and our successes of the early 2000s. 

He stepped away in 2007 because he had felt he had done his bit and continued to support the Brakes. He was a regular visitor to the ground until his health prevented him from attending whilst acting as a club ambassador in welcoming visiting directors.

As soon as funeral arrangements are known, details will be communicated via club social media & website.
