​We are sad to report the passing of Southgate Olympic’s Brian Mead away after a long illness. Brian played for the 1st XI for many years and was a member of the AFA Senior Cup and Middlesex Cup winning sides of the early 70’s. He first played for Olympic in the early 60’s and continued playing until the mid-80’s.
He was an old school centre forward and as much a character on the pitch as he was afterwards in many opposition club houses. Those of you that played against him may still be carrying the bruises!
​
Brian's funeral will take place at 4pm on Tuesday 5th August at New Southgate Cemetery and Crematorium, Brunswick Park Road, New Southgate N11 1JJ.

After the service there will be a gathering to remember Brian at Enfield Golf Club, Old Park Road (South), Enfield EN2 7DA.

It would be great to see ‘old’ opponents on the 5th to celebrate Brians life. If you would like to attend please email Roger Philo so that we can inform Brian’s family.

We are sad to report Alexandra Park President, Bryan King, has passed away. He died peacefully in the early hours of Sunday morning, 13 July, with his beloved daughters at his side.  

He was a football and cricket club stalwart for over 60 years, Bryan's support at events across the whole spectrum of Club activities was so special throughout his long tenure as President from 2011-2025. 

Bryan’s funeral service will take place on Wednesday 6 August 2025 at 2.00pm at Harwood Park Crematorium, Watton Road, Stevenage, SG2 8XT.  Friends from the the SAL and AFA communities are invited to attend.

After the Service the family have arranged for a farewell gathering at The White Horse Hotel, Hertingfordbury Road, Hertford, SG14 2LB

IMPORTANT: Please indicate to Bryan’s daughter, Ruth, if able to attend and would like to join the post-match gathering on [email protected]
