Otford United Football Club - "Thank you" to our chairman.
Why are we crowdfunding?
For over 30 years, our Club Chairman has been the heart and soul of the club’s journey. His dedication has been nothing short of remarkable, taking on roles as both Secretary and Chairman across the decades. Through countless hours of hard work behind the scenes, he has helped create opportunities for hundreds, if not thousands, of children and adults to play, grow, and enjoy the sport we all love. His passion and selfless commitment have laid the foundations for the club’s continued success.
The impact of his efforts goes far beyond the pitch. Every team, every player, every achievement has been touched by the countless hours he gave — often sacrificing personal time, family life, and many evenings and weekends to ensure the club could thrive. His work has often gone unseen, but it has been felt by every player who’s pulled on our shirt and every supporter who’s cheered from the sidelines.
Now, after decades of service, he has made the decision to step back from the administrative side of the club. While he will still be involved through his coaching, he can finally enjoy a little more well-earned time with family and friends. We can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done — his legacy will live on every time a ball is kicked in our colours.
As a small token of our appreciation, we’re asking for donations from anyone who would like to contribute toward a gift for him. Every penny we collect will go towards giving him something he truly deserves — perhaps a holiday or something special he can enjoy with his family. After everything he’s given to the club and our community, it’s only fitting that we give a little something back to say a massive "THANK YOU".
