Bolton Wanderers club secretary Simon Marland will be stepping down from his role at the end of this season.
The 63-year-old who grew up in Farnworth is a lifelong Wanderers fan and has been at the club full-time since 1993 and been associated with the Whites since the 1980s.
He wrote for the programme and covered the reserve team home and away before joining full-time in 1993 as part of the finance team, later becoming club secretary in 2000.
