Roger Bettles

Post by Dbsl »

Sadly Roger died this morning following his brave battle against cancer. Roger was a lifelong supporter of both the old Diamonds and AFC. Some of you who may not know him by name, will probably been served by him in the clubhouse before AFC matches. despite his cancer, operations and chem, Roger was still attending homes games when he could up until a couple of weeks before Xmas. My sypathys and thoughts go out to Roger's family. RIP, Roger

Good lord, I had no idea he was even ill! Always had a laugh when we worked on the bar together, and he obviously loved the club. Thoughts for him and his family at what I'm sure is a pretty awful time. RIP.

Didn't personally know the gentleman but probably would have recognised him and it is always very sad when one of our 'Diamonds Family' passes on.

Sad news indeed, a lovely Gent who was a true Diamond, will remember him fondly, and my thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP Roger.
