This year we didn’t get to celebrate at a presentation night/day and so consequently we didn’t get to announce a very special, prestigious award. I am absolutely honoured to announce that we presented Neil Wade as a MUFC Life Member.
Neil has been part of the club since 1991 and retired from playing in 2017. He has also been on the board for 20 years, he became a referee back in 2015 and was also a part of the SDFA committee for 2 years. Neil has was also a coach for 20 years for us here at MUFC and at Southern for 5 years. Both Neil’s children played for MUFC while they were living in the area so the love of the game definitely runs in the family.
When he was asked what he loved most about our club he replied that he loves how we focus on our juniors (boasting the biggest minis in the area) and getting kids playing. He also mentioned how he has met so many great people including some life long friends.
Congratulations Neil, we are very thankful for your service and dedication to MUFC. We would also love to thank Neil’s wife Denise for sharing him with us for so long and for also having a hand in our club behind the scenes. We are beyond blessed and are looking forward to what we achieve with you in the future.
