Dear Sir,
I would just like to pay tribute to Allan Oliver who has resigned his position of team manager to become club chairman.
In recent years Allan has led the team from the obscurity of the Wearside League to the Northern League Division One. Not only has he, with the help of Gary Farley, given the town a team to be proud of, he has had his teams play in a spirit that has earned the club many friends.
I wish Allan the best of luck in his new role and hope the new manager continues the success NAFC has achieved with Allan at the helm.
Norman Smith
Director, Shildon AFC.
