Absolute legend. RIP Skip

 

[Gordyola]

Very sad news! He's lived to a ripe old age and is most certainly a legend of our great club having dedicated so much of his life in numerous roles from player, skipper, coach, scout and manager all performed with upmost dedication and dignity. Ultimately he became a fan like the rest of us RiP Skip and commiserations to his family and friends

Even as a fan who never saw him play, I know the impact he had on our club.

A proper legend, RIP Skip.

Ah shit - someone put it on our WhatsApp group around 11.30 but I thought it might be a mistake as no confirmation anywhere

RIP Skip

So sad, but what a life he lived and what an incredible player and icon of the club.

RIP and love to his family x
