Dave Waddington.

It is with sadness that Thackley announce that ex player Dave Waddington has passed away in hospital in Australia after a long battle with cancer.
The news of Dave's passing came via Peter Glover who was Thackley's Manager at the time he played for the club.
Dave, a centre half, played for the club in the 1960's and 1970. He played his last first team game on the 3rd May 1970 at Wombwell, Thackley lost the game 1-0.

Thackley sends its condolences to Dave's wife Val and all his family.
