Sadly Dean Madden passed away on 10th August after a short hard fight with an aggressive stomach cancer.

Anyone who knows Deano knows he took his work as a Physio at Aston Villa seriously and any kid who he worked with well was looked after like his own. He was an amazing bloke and well liked by players, parents and staff.

His wife Theresa was by his side throughout it all and gave up everything to care for him.

Deano was worth his weight in gold and we’d love to be able to take the stress away from Theresa and the family at this horrific time. Anything you can donate, no matter how big or small, will really mean a lot.
