York City Knights can regretfully confirm that former player and 100 Club Member Danny Sheehan passed away yesterday.


Danny made 379 appearances for York after debuting in 1961 before going on to coach the team. He passed away at the age of 79. He was a born and bred York native and was based in the city throughout his life. While he played for other clubs during his career, York was where his heart was.


After speaking to Danny’s daughter today, she shared that he had enjoyed playing his part in Heritage Weekend and that, on Saturday, he got to meet up with friends who he had both played with and coached.


Danny presented Ronan Dixon with his match shirt on Saturday at our Legends’ Luncheon.

The Club are currently liaising with Danny’s family and our thoughts are with them and his friends at this time.


Ahead of our home match against Batley Bulldogs on Monday 18th July, we will be holding a minute’s silence in his memory.


Rest In Peace Danny Sheehan, #998.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Danny Sheehan — his impact on the club and community will be remembered, and during times like this it’s a reminder of how much leadership and thoughtful coordination matter both on and off the field, whether honoring a legacy or organizing work with the right tools for capacity planning to ensure teams and projects stay supported and aligned.

Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. competition jiu jitsu gi
