Ramsey AFC has paid tribute to one of its “much loved members and true friend”, Harry Gillings.
The club said it is “absolutely devastated by the news of the loss of such a huge character within our club”.
Ramsey’s fixtures that were scheduled for this afternoon, the first-team match against Corinthians and the Combination game have been postponed as a mark of respect.
Tribute to Harry
In a statement the northern club said: “Harry may not have played for Ramsey beyond junior level, but he was worth so much more than that to us.
“He was a great friend — admired and loved by everyone who knew him. Harry always had time for anyone and everyone, and would often lend a hand on matchdays without ever being asked. That was Harry — a true friend, and one of a kind.
“We’ll miss you, mate. So many great memories have been shared, and you’ll always be remembered.
“Forever an Albert.”
Harry was also a much loved member of the farming community.
The football clubs statement has been met with condolences from other clubs around the island.
