We have been saddened today to hear of the death of former club secretary David Stanley, who was found dead at his home in St Albans by the police.

David had been involved in non-league football for many years, most recently as chairman of the Suburban League for whom he had held a number of offices since 1988. As well as taking up the secretarial role for the Greens, he has held similar positions at a number of clubs including Chesham United, Hemel Hempstead Town, Merthyr Tydfil, Barnet and Berkhamsted Town.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with David's family at this sad time.
