For those of us of a certain vintage, and can still remember the team from the early to mid-70’s, Dave Salkeld recently passed away. ‘Geordie’ as he was known, for obvious reasons, was stationed locally and played for the club for a couple of years, around ‘74/‘’75. He was a very consistent midfielder, always a 7/10 player and was in the team that won the Wiltshire Senior Cup in ‘75, beating Vickers of Swindon 4-0 in the final, played at The Conigre. I’m told he had a very distinguished playing career with the RAF, representing them in Germany, and he went on to coach and manage the team. RIP Geordie.

Sad news. I've very fond memories of the team from that era, as I know you will have too Insideleft. I remember being at the final. Around that time we were featured in the Rothmans News magazine with a nice picture of the team.
