Mr Brookes was taken ill during the league game at Stratford Town on Tuesday night.
The match was abandoned due to what was described as a ‘medical emergency’.
But the club issued a statement on Wednesday morning which reads: “It’s with real sadness that we have to announce the passing of our President Colin Brookes.
“He was at the match last night and was sadly taken ill and did not recover, despite all the efforts of Kyle Finn and James Kellerman’s mums, Stratford Town FC, our medical team and the local paramedics.
“Everyone who knew him would know that if he had chosen a way to go, it would have been watching his beloved Yeltz and a quick passing.
“Our thoughts are with Karen and the family and all their friends at this time.”
