Liam Dwyer

Liam Dwyer who stepped down last month as Joint Manager of Chalfont St. Peter AFC has issued the following statement

"At the beginning of last month I resigned from my role as Joint Manager of Chalfont St Peter AFC. Due to
my wife being in hospital and the recent arrival of my daughter I had been unable to commit myself fully
to the role and I felt this was having a detrimental effect on the team's form. Having stepped away and
with the recent form
I feel this decision has been for the best. I have always prided myself on being
someone who gives everything and who is fully committed, when this was no longer possible this was
the
best thing to do for all involved.
I thoroughly enjoyed by time at Chalfont, it  is a great club with even better people involved, However I am
enjoying
having my first break away from the game for over a decade. I have taken away some incredible
memories
and teachings which will hold me in good stead for the future. "Your eyes don't lie" being the
best lesson from the Chairman.
I would like to thank Denis, Ian, Chloe and all the committee and volunteers. I would like to thank the
coaching team of Chappy, Bela, Kennedy, Sam, Bradley and Travis. Alongside Tom and Will from the Devs
and
Joe from the Under 18s' I wish the new supporting staff all the best within their rules moving
forward.
To Easty, a great friend on and off the pitch, thank you for your all support across our time together. We
have had some laughs alongside brilliant moments and I have gained so much working alongside you, l'd
also like to thank Finlay Johnson for all his support prior to us getting the role and his support during my
time at the club. I'd also like to thank Kieran and PSA for there assistance during this period.
I would like to thank Captain James and all the players during my tenure, it's been a pleasure. Last thanks
to the fans for there support and understanding.
I will be down to support soon, up the saints !

Chairman, Denis Mair said " “ Football throws up many many characters but very few can be referred to as ‘gentlemen’. In Liam's case I have no hesitation in calling him a ‘gentleman’, and his undeniable qualities as a human being will benefit all. We wish Liam and his new family every thing good that life has to offer."

Former fan favourite Charlie Strutton has dies aged 34

The club has been rocked by the news that former fan favourite, Charlie Strutton, has died aged 34. 

Charlie began his career in the junior levels at Chalfont and progressed to the senior team in 2006. Regularly the top scorer, his goal scoring prowess became a reliable and central part of Saints’ successful run to the FA Vase semi-final in 2009 and the Spartan League title in 2011. It also drew the attention of professional clubs and he was snapped up by AFC Wimbledon in 2012. Injury slowed his progress and he returned to Saints for a short spell, playing his last game in the red and green in November 2016. 

Supported by his enthusiastic family, Strutts was loved and admired in equal measure by all those who knew him. His passing leaves an enormous hole in the Chalfont heart. 

 

Chairman Denis Mair, who watched and encouraged his progress all the way from the Under-12 team, said, “Words cannot express the unbearable sadness I feel following the news of Charlie’s passing. Without question a light has gone out at Chalfont St Peter and for everyone that knew Charlie. He will be remembered in the most loving and cherished ways that all good souls who enter our lives, however briefly, are remembered. Our love and condolences from absolutely everyone at Chalfont St Peter go to his family in the knowledge that we’ve all been touched by a rare gift that in time will give us all the strength to carry on. Charlie, my few words don’t go anywhere near doing you the justice that you so deserve but it comes purely from my heart to you.”
