''He was a wonderful member of the club and he worked very hard for the club - he was always helping out the younger players.

''He was captain of the third and the second team during his career with us, and he helped many a player on their way to Wiltshire Division One.

''It will be a great loss for all of us. He was irreplaceable.''
