Arbroath will host a charity football match in memory of Bailey Menmuir, to raise awareness of suicide.
The match will take place at Gayfield on January 29 at 7pm between Bailey’s team FC 1320 and a side made up of his closest friends.
Entry will be £5 and there will also be a bucket collection to raise money for The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) which is leading a movement against the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK.
Bailey’s body was discovered on an area of land just a few hundred yards from his home, on January 10, following a five-day search.
Friend Jamie Worrall said: “With the help of Arbroath FC we have decided to set this game up in memory of our great friend Bailey Menmuir.
“It was obvious to us all last week when he went missing just how much he meant to so many people.
“His warm personality made him very popular with so many different people throughout Angus.
“He was always the life and soul of any party and loved to make people laugh.”
The 21-year-old, who was also known as Bailey Mearns, came into contact with many youngsters in Arbroath, mainly through playing football with FC 1320 and coaching youth teams.
Bailey was part of a close-knit group of friends and had just started a job in the offshore industry.
He was a former player with Arbroath Lads Club and was also a popular coach with a lot of the Arbroath Lads Club 2006 players when they first began playing in the ALC Youth Development Squad.
The 2006 team folded this week but had some remaining funds in its bank account which the team’s parents, players and coaches felt would go to good use as a donation to Reach Across, the Arbroath-based charity offering help and support for those experiencing mental health difficulties.
A £650 donation has now been made in Bailey’s memory.
A crowdfunding page set up to give Bailey the “send-off he deserves” has also now reached around £15,000.
Organiser Lesley Munro said they will all remember Bailey’s unique sense of style and rarely saw him without a Gucci baseball cap.
