just read on the official site about the passing away of derek 'taffy' jones, one of the groundsman from the old days at central park.
The club isn't just about the players, we must remember the people in the background, who rarely get credit, they help to keep our team running too!

Re: Derek 'Taffy' Jones
He was a great guy and much more than a groundsman as I recall. seeing Millsy knocking about on match days makes me feel somewhat better. These guys were very important to our success. They seemed to genuinely enjoy what they did unlike some present employees.
