The Club have, been saddened to learn of the death of our former player Jackie Foster. Jackie was a member of the team from 1969 to 1975, appearing in 280 games and the fifth most appearances for the club.

Our thoughts are with Jackie’s wife Ann and their sons Paul and Lee. The Club held a minute’s silence before the game v Esh Winning FC in his memory.
