Dover Athletic was saddened to learn of the passing of long-standing supporter and volunteer Roger Osborn, who died on 17 September aged 81.

Roger’s connection with the club stretched back more than 60 years. Over the decades he attended countless home and away matches, helped out around the ground and became a familiar face to generations of supporters.

Roger was particularly close to fellow long-serving volunteer Ray Kelly, with the pair well remembered around Crabble.

Roger’s family will be joining us for our home fixture against Ebbsfleet United on 28 December and hope to meet some of his old friends in the Centre Spot afterwards.

Everyone at Dover Athletic sends their condolences to Roger’s family and friends.
