Today, we remember one of our founder members, David Morrow.
David was a member of the club from Day 1. He provided advice, leadership and support to everyone within Bessbrook NISC, and was instrumental in taking the club forward in those early days, providing the foundation for us celebrating our 20th Anniversary last year.
David was our first Chairman, and was with us in Spain 2007 and Luxembourg in 2013, as well as numerous home matches alongside his son Eric.
David passed away during Euro 2016, and it was while some members who had went to Monaco after the Nice match were returning to Dijon that we learnt of his death. It was actually while the car was passing Lyon stadium when the call came through.
3 days later on 16 June 2016, the then club Chairman, Jimmy Corkin, led a moments silence at the Lyon stadium ahead of the Ukraine match in memory of David, on the day of his funeral.
David is very much missed within the club, and our thoughts remain with Phil, Eric, Paula and the entire family circle.
This Saturday evening, we will remember David alongside Stephen, Darren and Archie at our Annual Games Night.
