It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt respect that we declare the passage of Ferg Piri-one funded life member, former club president (1970–1977), long sports trainer, and an irreparable person in our club’s life and inheritance. Ferg’s death marks the end of an era, but his soul in every corner of the field, every whistle will be blown, every game will be played, and every person who walks through our door with passion in his heart.
Ferg was more than just one clubman. He was a tireless supporter of everything for a foundation stone, a guiding force, and everything for this club. During several decades, Ferg gave his heart, his time, and his unwavering commitment to the club, which he loved very much. In the locker room, and within the committee meetings, their appearance was important for shaping, success and unity that enjoys this club today. Their passing leaves a zero that is irreversible, but will continue to inspire and influence the inherited generations made by them.
From 1970 to 1977, as the chairman of the club, Ferg led during a formal and important period in our history. The club was developing, transitioning through various stages, and building towards the future. During those important years, the leadership of Ferg played an important role in helping the club to shape into a strong, united and community-operated institution. He was not only a decision-making, but also the voice of the cause, a problem solving, and also a patron for the people around him. His leadership style was marked by humility, decisiveness and a surefire belief in the power of team work and loyalty. Those who served with them not only remember their strategic thinking and drive, but also have warmth, good humor and tireless enthusiasm. Under the example, Ferg, and their influence has left an indelible impression on the culture of the club.
After his presidential post, Ferg played an integral role as a dedicated sports trainer for several years. Their commitment to the health and welfare of athletes was unique. Ferg spent countless hours on the sideline, nurtured athletes, guided young players through injury and recovery, and provided not only physical support but also emotional incentives in difficulty and doubt time. His hands helped many people, and his intellect helped shape countless sports trips. He was a calm, stable force that never sought a spotlight, but always be ready to help, offer a help, a word of advice, or an encouraging pat on the back. For him, it was not about praise or recognition; It was about to ensure that the athletes and clubs reached its entire capacity on the field as a whole.
Ferg’s role in the club moved beyond the field. He was a patron and a confidant, someone who provided equally guidance to members, coaches, volunteers and supporters of the committee. His deep knowledge about the history of the club, its values and its mission makes him an invaluable resource with whom he interacted with. They had a supernatural ability to bring people together, create a sense of belonging and promote the atmosphere of mutual respect and support. Ferg understood that a strong club was built not only on victory but also on lattice bonds between its members. His contribution to the club was not limited to his official roles; He was clear in every gesture of every conversation, every conversation, and kindness that he was expanded to the people around him.
Ferg was also a constant appearance for supporters. Whether he was a long fan or a newcomer, Ferg was always a warm smile, a handshake, or a word of encouragement. He was the face of the club, the person who felt people that they were part of something special, something greater than only one game. Whatever he had loved for the club was clear, and his passion for the game and the community never forgiven. He was always ready to lend a hand, share a story, or to give advice to anyone, which was needed.
Ferg’s contribution made it so special that he did not only numbered those years, but in the spirit in which he served. Without asking, he supported without any question, and preferred this club as it was a family. The club became their second home, and their presence enriched it beyond measurement. Their influence was not only in the roles that he had held, but in the relationships he had, the respect he earned, and the values he had adopted: dedication, humility, kindness and service. Ferg did not just build the club; They created a community – a community tied together with shared experiences, mutual respect and sports.
Their legacy is measured not in the title, victory, or figures but in the relationships created by them, and the example he had set to determine for others. Ferg took the best part of being the largest part of itself – a community, a family, part of something larger than a team. Their unwavering commitment to service, their deep love for the club, and their ability to inspire others will resonate within the club walls for the coming years.
As we mourn the loss of this extraordinary man, we also celebrate his life. Ferg’s memory will be in stories shared by those who knew him best. They will be remembered not only for their leadership but also for the ability to connect, hear, support and love with people. Their legacy will remain in the hearts of all those who knew him, and the values he produced in the club will continue to shape its future.
We express our deep condolences to the Piri family, who shared the ferg with us for so many years. Our hearts are with you because we mourn the loss of this extraordinary man. Maybe you relax how dear he loved and influenced the life of how many people. The passing of Ferg leaves a void that can never be filled, but his soul lives in each of us.
As we remember Ferg, we also respect him. He may no longer stand next to us on the shore, but his soul remains a part of a lot of clothes of this club – which is in our history, which he inspired. Ferg’s life was one of service, love and devotion, and it is a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations.
Relax in peace, Ferg. You gave us everything. We will always remember you. Your legacy is on every player, every supporter and every volunteer, which forwards the values you give. Thanks to all given to this club and community. you will never be forgotten.
