Brian was also a school teacher of mine at Brasholme High.

Top bloke coached me when i started playing at Newland U-14's always had time for chat and was deeply passionate about Rugby League and Hull FC in particular. Will be very sadly missed by all who knew him.
Deepest sympathies to the family.
RIP Brian.

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.

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.

I was a colleague of Brian when he retired and chatted many times about FC and rugby in general during our time at Cooper. He was a great bloke and he will of course be sadly missed by all. Deepest sympathy to all the family. |

I attended Brian’s service today and to say I was humbled is an understatement.
It was a fitting send off for someone that earned the respect of everyone that ever had met him; he was a dedicated, hard working and genuine person.
It was also nice to see representatives of Hull FC there alongside a large contingent of people from all sectors of Rugby League, amateur and professional.
He will live on in the memory of all who had the pleasure to meet him.
R.I.P. Brian
