Lazy Sod Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Chris did you ever visit the Old,Old Club in Ryman 3 days,now that was a Community Club,Sunday Lunches,3 kids teams on the main pitch every Sunday,all supporting each other,,Club functioning 7 days per week,10 youth /kids sides.Ist team players spending their wages before they went home in the bar,Powelly/Galey/Scotty Thomas/Glyn Schimmel,Tristan Wood.Mascots meet the players, photos taken with Officials,no fee charged in fact the Players had a whip round for them every game,packed coaches to away games, every game..The main man behind this initiative,was Youth Section Chairman Richard(Dicky)Clayton who sadly passed away this weekend,in my eyes he was a TRUE NON LEAGUE LEGEND he was not in it for the money,but what he could give to others,especially the youngsters,he nurtured them as if they were his own.Many of you may never of heard of him,but for 7 years he gave his all,to put Croydon Athletic on the map.Would be nice to think that a Minutes Silence could be observed at Croydon Athletics next Home game as a mark of respect to A GREAT MAN,My thoughts are with his Family at the moment,Stella,Lee,Dan,Sam,and little Joe,the nicest Family anyone could wish to meet. Peter Eaton aka Smudge. Good post Peter. How about all CCL Clubs holding a minute's applause/silence in appreciation of what he did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
