IT was with great sadness that I learned of the death of Dave Salter.

Dave was a well-known figure in local football, mainly through his work with Wyre Forest FC and Brintons FC (Sunday side).

Not only was he secretary, he would put the nets up, mark the pitch, collect subscriptions, organise raffles, attend meetings, organise fund-raising events - in fact, Dave would do any job to enable a football club to exist.

I found him very co-operative and friendly. He was a gracious man.

Local football has lost a great servant in Dave Salter.
