Three Bridges called off Saturday's County League game against Whitehawk as a mark of respect for their former chairman Jim Steele who died early last week.
Jim's involvement with Bridges stretched back nearly 60 years when he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the club.
He served as secretary, chairman, president and vice-president and for many years was involved in the management of both the Sussex County League and Sussex FA.
Chairman Jim Bell said: "Although Jim had not been well in recent years his death has come as a tragic shock to us all.
"Jim's colleagues and football friends throughout Sussex will be devastated by the news."
The funeral will take place at Surrey and Sussex Crematorium, Balcombe Road, Crawley today at 2pm and afterwards at Three Bridges FC.
