Chas Banks MBE
Everyone at MUST was deeply saddened to hear of the death of our friend and colleague Chas Banks.
Of course he was best known for his involvement in the Manchester United Disabled Supporters Association (MUDSA) for more than 25 years including serving as Secretary of the group since 2016. He worked tirelessly to represent disabled United supporters and improve facilities for them home and away. In 2022, he was awarded an MBE for his services to disabled people in Greater Manchester and the North West of England.
From his first game on Christmas Day 1957, Chas was amongst our most loyal and committed supporters, following the team home and away, and after he became disabled he never let that stand in his way.
Chas was a full member of MUST going right back to the beginning as Shareholders United and was a great friend to us as an organisation as well as personally. We enjoyed his company on the Fans Forum and as guests on his table at many a MUDSA annual dinner.
We would like to share our heartfelt commiserations with all of Chas’ friends and family and his colleagues at MUDSA. We will all miss him dearly.
Rest in Peace, Chas.
