Stephen Chamberlain’s son vows to finish his run

Following the accident, the driver of the car, a 49-year-old woman from Haddenham, remained at the scene and is assisting with enquiries, police said.

On a public Strava post, Teddy Chamberlain said: “We are planning to complete this run for Dad (after I train of course!).

“If any of you would like to pay tribute and run it with us I will keep you updated.

“I’m sure we will make a post about the day and time at a later date. He was such an incredible man and the pain we feel in unimaginable.”

Many people have paid tribute to the keen runner and “strong supporter of local football in Cambridgeshire”.

Cambridge United director, Graham Daniels, told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire about Mr Chamberlain’s time as an unpaid finance director at the club from 2016 to 2018.

He said: “A real tragedy. Steve was a Cambridgeshire man; he grew up in Hardwick and was a fantastic footballer.

“He very faithfully gave us two years as unpaid finance director just to help us sort the institution out a little bit and tidy things up for the new owners.

“He spent hours at the club in those years because there was much to do.

“He had a pivotal role in that transition and he volunteered to stand down from his voluntary role during the noise from Autonomy.”
