Mr Rogers said today: “It is with deep regret and sadness that we write to let people know that our honorary President Graham Firth sadly passed away this morning in hospital.
“Many will no doubt be aware that Graham has been unwell for a little while now and he has been in and out of hospital over the last few weeks.
“Graham was Ossett Town through and through doing just about very job for many many years including leading the club for so long and so well as our previous chairman.
