BBL CHAIR PERCIVAL DEAD AT 68

By on June 25, 2015

Ed Percival, the chairman of the British Basketball League, has died suddenly.

The businessman, 68, had been in the post for the last two years and had overseen a period of significant growth and improvements in many different aspects of the business.

He also served as WBBL chairman for the inaugural 2014-15 campaign and was a trustee of the Basketball Foundation.

Percival is survived by his wife Valerie, with whom he is understood to have celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary last week.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
