Loosing someone so dear to you is always hard to come to terms with. It breaks your heart.  Chris was a massive part of our lives at Panshanger. Everyone described him as a great ambassador to youth football, a talented coach, a true gentleman, and a kind friend. He was known as a passionate, committed and very dedicated man, who was a role model to the children. The list goes on and on.

His ability to plan and execute any football events to a high standard was without a shadow of a doubt the best in the town.  He simply was the master of putting everything together and exceeding expectations. He had unique qualities and will be deeply missed by us all.

He always did his very best to ensure that our players had the optimal facilities and environment to play their football, and that took some doing day in and day out. We are going to miss him so sadly and dearly. Panshanger FC will now play the beautiful game of football in memory of a great man, who will always be in our hearts. We will never forget all the hard work and good things he did for us.

Nickola, Harry, Amber and Zak, you know this club much better than anyone that I can think of.  Just remember that you will never be on your own. We are all together as a team. Your friends and your family will always be there for you, and so will all of us at the club.

Sadly, we have lost a very valued, much loved member of our team, but his fine memories will give us strength and will be with us forever.

Rest in peace and god bless you.

Mike Banissy, Chairman Panshanger FC

On behalf of all your firends at Panshanger FC
