Dave Thompson honoured after clocking up 400 appearances
The home fixture against Malvern Town saw a pre-match presentation to Dave Thompson after reaching 400 appearances for his home town club. He was presented with a commemorative shirt denoting his 400 games.
Manager Mark Collier said, “In today’s climate, players come and go and in truth, sometimes show very little commitment, but Tommo is certainly not in that camp.
“To make 400 appearances shows what a great affinity he has with the club; he has won many honours along the way, has captained the team with pride and now, on the coaching side, he continues to play a big part at the club.”
