REFEREE
It
is with great sadness we have to announce the death of
our President Graham Reynolds after a short illness.
Graham was elected on to the Gwent County Football
Association as a representative of the Gwent Schools
Football Association in 1977. He went on to become a
life member, Chairman and finally our President. He
showed great pride at his inauguration as President in
2007 and Grahams departing is a huge loss. Graham was a
tremendous supporter of youth football and was a talent
scout for Tottenham Hotspur. Graham
played football for
Newport County, Cwmbran Town and Lovells Athletic among
others and was capped by Wales at amateur level. He also
played cricket for Glamorgan at first and second class
level - and for Wales. Graham was formerly deputy head
teacher at Hartridge High School.
Our thoughts are with Eira and the family - we
send our heartfelt sympathy to them in this very
difficult and sad time.
The funeral will be held on Friday 7th March 2008 at St
Julians Methodist Church in Newport. |
