MARKSY Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Heard this morning Dave Darlington passed away in the week I must confess I haven’t seen him for some time . Just wanted to say what a real credit he was to not only Four lanes Afc but to football locally as a whole . It was Dave who persuaded me to become a manager much to the annoyance of refs & others but in our first season we retained the Lge cup in Fal Hel 2 & the following season won the treble, that man could make you feel ten feet tall & I can honestly say it was a privilege to of had him not only run the line but have advice off of not only a football man but a true gent RIP Dave . If there is a post about this elsewhere apologies. RAPPO, Keith B, rgkeep and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Sad news, I first met Dave when we were both involved in Lanner juniors, his passion for the game was as strong then as the last time I saw him at Wendron last season, RIP Dave.

dave jenks Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Sorry to hear this Marksy. Didn't know Dave Darlington that well but always good for a bit of touch line banter when he came to watch Lanner. RIP. MARKSY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArseneWanger Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Dropship v Praze 2s conducted a minutes silence in respect of Dave today. Many of the Praze team had previously been with four lanes, so it was only fair. Many thanks to dropship for complying, appreciate it 👌 MARKSY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hosking Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Really sad news. Dave was an absolutely amazing bloke, who couldn't do enough for you & his beloved Four Lanes. My thoughts are with his friends & family. MARKSY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have eluded, the driving force behind Four Lanes FC and a real character on the local football scene.
