Everyone at Airdrieonians is saddened tonight by the news that Diamonds fan Mark Allison has passed away.

​

Mark was a well-known face in the Airdrie support long before his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer almost two years ago, but his selflessness after receiving such terrible news endeared him to many.

​

Raising funds for cancer research with his unique "F**k Cancer" campaign, Mark co-ordinated a number of events based around his lifelong passions for football, music and Adidas trainers.

​

He always ensured his efforts would have a positive effect on others, and was a leading figure in the installation of "Sammy's Shelter" at Excelsior Stadium following the death of Diamonds hero Sammy Conn.

​

Mark's campaigns raised well over £70,000 for cancer charities, and his legacy will live on within his beloved football club and beyond. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.

​

Rest in Peace, Mark. Diamonds are forever.
