Robert Hopkins Funeral Arrangements

18 Feb 2026 | 0 comments

Hoppy’s family have asked that details of his funeral arrangements are shared as widely as possible because of his close affinity with the Club and so many Blues supporters.

The details of Hoppy’s final journey are as follows:

Friday 20 February 2026

If anybody is planning to say goodbye to Rob on Friday please be at St. Andrew’s, Main Stand by approx 11.45am. The family plan to arrive at 12pm.

The ceremony and wake are a private affair due to Hoppy’s popularity. However, everyone is welcome to listen live from outside Robin Hood Crematorium or, if you can’t get across to Shirley, it is also being streamed at St Anne’s Club/ Diggitys Bar in Digbeth at 1pm

Please find below both addresses on where you can listen to the ceremony.
