If you ask me he gets a seat in the directors box for matches and the occasional lap of the pitch, hopefully during an FA cup 3rd round game for old times sake :lol: :ayatollah:

Can someone smart answer this question? What involvement or responsibility is this role??

In my opinion any honourary role such as this comes with no real responsibility, he will have a place in the directors box for matches and perhaps you'll get the odd comment from him after games, but I don't believe he will have any real influence on the boardroom nor the playing squad.

That's purely a guess though

It is a title given to an individual in recognition of their endeavours for the organisation. It carries no power and requires duties to be undertaken by the individual apart from ceremonial duties. In our case this probably means attending high profile games, presentations or awards ceremonies.

Some people said there's not a chance the club owed him nothing as he didn't have a leg to stand on, the ace card will aways win :ayatollah:
