RAPPO Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Des, top bloke and good striker in his day too. Played my first Combo game aged 14 up front with Des at Marazion for Truro.

Rayvon Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Have to say what a send off Des received, it was standing room only at the Kernow Chapel on Friday with many having to stand outside listening to a very emotional service with a couple of Rod Stewart songs and one from the Beatles included in the service, it was great to meet up also with so many former friends who had past connections with Truro City. We all miss you Des and I'm sure your up there looking down with a football in one hand and a golf club in the other. RAPPO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
