It's with great sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Freda Oyston on Thursday 11th April 2024 aged 84.
Freda was well loved and known mainly for her efforts as Secretary of The Sunderland Disabled and Escorts Supporters Branch from the mid-1990s until the last few years due to her deteriorating health.
Freda alongside her beloved husband Eddie Oyston (who sadly passed away in January 2021) along with many other fellow volunteers enabled thousands of Disabled and able-bodied people access tickets, travel and parking for Sunderland AFC home and away fixtures for over 25 years. At times at their own financial expense.
