Motherwell CEO Alan Burrows delivered an emotional farewell speech on after the Steelmen beat Hearts 2-0 on Sunday afternoon - admitting his exit is a 'huge wrench' as he prepares to move to Aberdeen.
Burrows' career is incredibly well-documented. Starting off as a Motherwell 'superfan', he embarked on a pre-season tour to watch the Fir Park outfit before helping out as a volunteer at the club. Eventually, his off the field endeavours saw him rapidly progress at his boyhood club before being given the chance to become CEO in a 'Roy of the Rovers' fairytale.
Becoming CEO in 2014, Motherwell have since played in the Europa League, Europa Conference League, two domestic cup finals and finished third in the Scottish Premiership under Burrows' guidance. And, having only missed one home game since 1993, he issued a fond farewell to his time at Fir Park - despite admitting that it is the 'right thing to do' for the club.
