Derek Harvey has sadly passed away

It’s my unhappy duty to have to inform you of the sudden death of Derek Harvey – another of the ‘originals’ who helped establish the club back in 1974 and who played with great distinction in those early seasons.

A deep thinker about the game, Derek (or ‘Len’ as he was affectionately known) would often help out at training sessions after he stopped playing and always kept in touch with the club as a spectator and a long-standing sponsor. Our thoughts are with Veronica and Derek’s family.

He will be sorely missed.

Best Regards

James
