    SALFORD CITY FC GIVE TRIBUTE TO FORMER CLUB CHAIRMAN DAVE TAYLOR WHO PASSED AWAY EARLIER THIS WEEK

    SHARE |


    Salford City FC has revealed the sad news of the passing of former Club Chairman, Dave Taylor, earlier this week.

    In a press statement a spokesperson on behalf of the club, said:

    "Dave was proud of his Salford roots, and his involvement with the Club went back to his playing days for Salford Amateurs in the early 1970s.

    Dave first got involved at Moor Lane in the 1997-98 season when his company, Avis Steel, took over as Club sponsor, and he became officially involved at the outset of the 1998-99 season, fulfilling the role of joint-Chairman with Harold Brearley. He took over as Chairman in his own right at the start of the 1999-2000 season with Harold becoming Club President.

    Playing results hadn’t been great for a few seasons in the North West Counties First Division but Dave, ably assisted by his wife Linda as Club Treasurer, set about changing things and after two seasons Salford had made the Final of the Manchester Premier Cup and missed out on top spot in the league by three points.

    Off the pitch Dave ensured the Club ran smoothly and financially within its means. He was instrumental in obtaining a lease, through the Council, on Moor Lane to make sure the Club had a long-term future here. He brought others onboard with the interests of the Ammies at heart, and his manner along with an open and friendly attitude meant that everyone pulled in the same direction."

    Dave stepped down as Chairman at the end of the 2002-03 season but he retained contact with the Club for a few more years with his company remaining as main sponsor.

    The club offers it's sincere condolences to Linda, sons Steve and Phil, who themselves have been players at Salford City, and the rest of Dave’s family and friends.

    A minute’s silence took place before kick-off this afternoon to honour the memory of an individual whose influence on the Club has been more than significant.
