Tony Linnett - Old St Mary's FC

We are saddened to report that Tony Linnett,  Chairman and Matvch Secretary of Old St Mary’s, passed away yesterday (Saturday 30 August) after a four-year struggle with cancer.

Many within the AFC and the SAL will have met Tony and enjoyed his excellent company.  He was the founder of Old St Mary’s F.C. in 1986 and has been an integral part of running the club for 40 seasons as player, Chair and Match Secretary.  Generations of players have felt his positive influence and made OSM the family club that it is.

Tony will be hugely missed by all of us.  His presence, wit and leadership are something we all aspire to.

With thanks to Club Secretary, Peter Smith, for keeping us informed.
