Mark Lawrence RIP
The club is extremely sad to learn of the tragic passing of former 1st team player Mark Lawrence. Mark was involved in a serious accident three weeks ago, causing serious injuries, injuries he was sadly unable to recover from despite him putting up a huge fight. Mark passed away peacefully on Sunday, with is family by his side.
He was a very much loved and popular member of the Sale FC Family, an extremely gifted player with an infectious smile, which made him a privilege to play alongside, coach and watch play the game we all love. His playing career was cut short after a series of shoulder injuries took their toll. He joined the club in 2013-14 season and played all the way through to our first season in National 1 in 2019. Mark enjoyed lots of success with the club, he played in the Cheshire Cup final winning team of 2014, bringing the Cup back to Heywood Road for the first time in 17 years, he was a member of the National 3 North title winning squad, and he was also a key member of the 2017-18 National Two North title winning side, playing in 25 of the 30 games that season.
Mark’s passing is a devastating loss and the thoughts and prayers of everyone at Sale FC are with Mark’s family and close friends, we all send our deepest condolences at this tragically sad time. We will miss Mark dearly; he will leave a big hole on all our hearts but lots of fond memories.
RIP Mark
Sale FC Rugby
