Flag of Wycombe Wanderers fan Bill Turnbull could be unfurled at Adams Park
A flag of the late, much-loved television presenter, radio host, journalist and Wycombe Wanderers fan Bill Turnbull could be unveiled at the club's stadium this month.
The national treasure, who was best known for hosting BBC Breakfast for 15 years between 2001 and 2016, was a frequent visitor to Adams Park, commentating on numerous Chairboys matches for BBC Three Counties.
He lived in the Jordans area of the county before moving to Cheshire in 2012 following the BBC's relocation to Salford.
Despite this, he would still attend matches at HP12 and received an honorary degree from Buckinghamshire New University in 2014 for his charity work within the county.
However, in March 2018, he publicly revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer the previous November, and succumbed to his illness on August 31, 2022, at the age of 66.
Now, nearly three years on from his passing, it is hoped that a flag commemorating the popular Wycombe fan will be unveiled before Wanderers' home clash against Thames Valley neighbours and League One rivals, Reading, on August 23.
A GoFundMe page has been set up with the flag's design being created Chairboys fan, MightyFTN.
The flag shows two images of Bill in a cartoon detailing, one of him holding a microphone, and the second with a Wycombe shirt with his name on the back.

Following his death, the gantry at Adams Park was renamed in Bill's honour.
