It is with great saddest that I’d like to advise members of the passing of Roy Wilson earlier this week at the age of 65.
Roy was a member of Sale FC for over 40 years, a committee member and volunteer in years gone by. He captained the 4th team in 1990s, pre professionalism, and was one of the handful of volunteers that helped re-launch Sale FC in 2001. In 2004/05 he took on the challenge of establishing a 2nd XV, leading them to a league and cup double in their first season.
Roy was always passionate about the game and Sale FC. This was epitomised by his legendary weekly match reports, affectionately known as ‘Roy’s Rant’. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
Our deepest condolences to Jane, Grace, Faye, Samuel and all his family at this difficult time. The thoughts & prays of myself and the rest of the Executive Committee are with you.
Paul Kelly
President, Sale FC
