Nick Woolford 2. In memory of Dennis Mills OBITUARY - DENNIS MILLS In memory of Dennis Mills following his recent battle with cancer; our thoughts are with Brenda, Darryl and family. Since the club’s move to Ruislip Dennis became a passionate supporter of Wealdstone FC, making his debut as a voluntary matchday steward in the FA Trophy semi-final against Newport County. He went on to make about 150 hi-vis appearances for The Stones, alongside his son and best mate Darryl. Many of you will know Dennis as a larger than life character with a great sense of fun and an infectious laugh. Amongst the steward team he became affectionately known as ‘Papa Smurf’ and he especially enjoyed the banter over the radios and the post-match pints. Two of Dennis’ many highlights were escorting Ginge off the pitch after his hilarious topless sprint to hug goal scorer Peter Dean at the end of the Isthmian winning season, and the fabulous alcohol fuelled celebrations at Maidenhead United in the last match of our return season to National South. Cheers Dennis - thanks for the memories; they’ll always guarantee us a smile!
