Chris Gracey
Was a active member of the Travel Club and also a match day steward who tragically died suddenly whilst playing a game of tennis.
A collection for flowers raised so much money that it was decided to purchase a sheild in his memory , and this was to be be presented to the player getting the most votes at the end of the season .
