Deepest sympathies to the holwell family.

Makes you wonder how many people brian Holwell toutched with his passion for rugby league through his dedication to the sport?

RIP Brian great guy used to be our coach at Newland & Stelrad.

Remember him from playing at Stelrad too! RIP Brian, deepest sympathy to the family

Very sad news, was my coach at Newland and him and
my dad Pete Oglesby who passed away recently
made us a very good side, making a couple of
youth internationals.

Gutted, used to coach my brothers at Newland.

Great guy sad day deepest sympathy to the family

Brian was the guy that got me into Rugby - he spotted me at a Rugby open day at the Boulevard in 1976, and he took me to Newland. He also coached me at Stelrad so he was a massive part of my playing days. Always laughing and cheerful, it was a pleasure to be in his company. Brian you will be missed by many.
RIP

Deepest sympathies to the family.

Very sad , A top guy + a good guy . Rest in peace mate .

Sad news. He was a top guy. Brian used to coach the student rugby league team at Humberside University when I played for them many years ago. I saw Brian a few weeks ago at Wembley and had a chat with him. He still remembered me after all these years. He always had time for everyone.
RIP Brian

R.I.P Brian. A fantastic man who I got to know and respect well , when I played for Stelrad. One of the true gentlemen of Rugby League and a great stalwart of the amateur scene in Hull.

Yet another great enters the big Rugby league family in the sky.

There are not enough superlatives to describe Brian Holwell. He had a pure passion for Rugby League and the people that knew him will never forget him.
I have known Brian for near on 30 years from playing for Newland through to Stelrad and also watching Hull Fc.
He always had time to talk to you, a fantastic character and as previously said, a [ireal[/i gentleman. Deepest sympathy to Maureen, Kevin and the rest of the family.

RIP Brian

Happy times at Newland and Stelrad with Brian. Proof that you don't have to shout and scream at people to command respect and get the best out of them. RIP Brian.

Was my teacher at Bransholme High. Good guy who will be missed.Best wishes to his family.

I'll always remember Brian as being one of the few coaches who had an appreciation of the Laws of the Game and the pressures of being an official. If he had criticism, it was a foolish bloke who ignored it.

RIP Brian

First met Brian at Newland some 30 years ago, he seemed to have a natural ability to get the best out of somebody.Then had the pleasure of meeting up with him again at Stelrad and he had not changed. One of the few people who put so much into peoples lives, only spoke to him 6 months back a true gent. God bless you.

RIP Bryan, remember him from my dads time at newland with lockos luck, what a top bloke

rip bryan, run the rugby team at cooper school, great guy who loved the game

A true gent who certainly knew his rugby.

Sleep well sir.

Got to know him through secretary's role when he was a Commitee member, couldn't do enough to help you. Genuine bloke who was a real gent, commiserations to Kev and rest of family.
