This coming Saturday's match with Gosport Borough once again sees us pay tribute to one of our favourite and most popular players of the past 40 years, Dermot Drummy.

Dermot scored 62 goals in 348 matches for the club across two spells in the 1980s and went on to coach with distinction at Arsenal and Chelsea before becoming first team manager at Crawley Town in the summer of 2016.

He left Crawley just before the end of the 2016/7 season before news of his untimely death broke in November 2017, shocking everyone who knew him whether personally or through football. In April 2018 the coroner's report concluded that Dermot had tragically taken his own life and that he had been undergoing treatment for 'low mood' in the run up to his death.

Last year supporters, former colleagues and members of Dermot's family came together at Silver Jubilee Park to remember the man and the footballer and we invite everyone to SJP on Saturday coming to once again recall a true entertainer on the pitch and a wonderful, kind, funny man off it.
