Dear Andy,
This is just a quick note to say thank you for your support of Horley Town FC over many years. You have given up your time to help us create what we have today.
The New Defence is a fantastic facility for the local community and the young people of Horley, many of them you know personally. All of them have benefited from your dedication and enthusiasm to see things through. It is fantastic that you command the respect of all the people who know you, both in your working life and in your leisure activities.
Horley Town FC are very grateful for your contribution and we would like you to accept this small gift as a reminder to you that “your kids” will be much better people because of you.
Thank you once again and good luck.
Yours in Sport
Nigel Abbott
HTFC Vice Chairman
For and on behalf of all the members of Horley Town Football Club

Nigel,
I second what you have said about Andy. It is a sad time that such a great man is Leaving Oakwood. The good thing is that you only have to look around to see all the great work that he has put into making Horley what it is today.
I have been lucky to had taken Andy up to the bridge to watch a game and it takes a brave man to stand up in the shed end when the away team has scored. This Andy did.... TOP MAN !
