TERRY GILMORE – R.I.P.

A true gentleman who gave a lifetime of service to local football

 

Terry played for The 61 FC between 1965-1971 1971 (having previously played for Vauxhall Motors in the Spartan League 1964-65) and was the club’s leading goalscorer in the 1966/67 season. He was a member of the club committee between 1971 and 1980 and was largely involved in fundraising for the development of Kingsway - the home ground of The 61 club. Terry joined Ashcroft Co-op in 1980, and held a variety of positions, principally as Hon Secretary until 1986. He was elected to the Bedfordshire FA as a Council Member in 1987 and he became a Vice President in 2009.

Terry joined the Spartan South Midlands Football League in 1999 as Registration Secretary and he performed that role right up until 2011 when he stood down, but remained as a Management Committee member until his death last week. On standing down, Terry was made a Vice President of the SSMFL. Over his years on the Committee, Terry proved to be a good friend and confidante to hundreds of club secretaries whom he helped through the sometimes painful rigours of player registrations.

Terry was also actively involved in Sunday football in the Luton area, playing for Barbarians in the North Home Counties Sunday league, as well as holding administrative positions with the same club. He joined the NHCSL committee in 1982 and acted as their Registration Secretary whilst holding the same post with the SSMFL, and going on to become Vice President in 2004 and President in 2011.

Terry leaves a wife Diane and two children (adults), Ray who was at one time a referee on the SMFL league at Step 4 level and now lives in Manchester and a daughter who lives in France with her fiance. Ray has 2 boys who are both keen sportsmen, showing a particular aptitude for cricket, being on the books of  Lancashire CCC.

 

The funeral will be on Friday 28 September at Luton Crematorium at 10.30 a.m.

Terry was a good one. He was always helpful and had a great passion for the game. We at Levy green were shocked with this news when Eric Harrison told us a few day ago.

 

Leverstock Green FC send their condolence's to Terry's family and friends.
