Just got back from a couple of days away for my son's wedding to hear the dreadful news that Dave has passed away. I'd just like to echo the sentiments expressed by so many others and pass on my condolences to his family. As Brian Flynn so rightly says, Dave was absolutely perfect as the face of Altrincham FC, opening the door to visitors and Alty people alike in a warm but always thoroughly professional manner. I just enjoyed being in his company and chatting to him, basically. He was a proper football person, old school maybe, but, in a way, that made him all the more engaging whenever he found time for a natter, which basically he did every single time you met him. A great bloke and a credit to the club, he will be sorely missed.
