Dennis Penford

Hopefully the board of TUFC will see fit to follow suit and honour the memory of Dennis with a minute's silence/applause at this Friday night's game against Barnet.

Dennis was the long time secretary of the Torbay Pioneer League and to be remembered in that way yesterday is just and appropriate.

Then there's bruciesbootcleaner. No folks, it's in no reference to the negative brucie who posts on here. It's an original fellow Trojan who has the sharpest, quickest wit of anyone I know and who used to clean the boots of STUCKEY the BRUCE, who used to fly down the Popside wing to the chant of . . . . .

BRUCE ! BRUCE ! BRUCE !

AH my old mate trojan 67, "clean the WHITE BOOTS of mr stuckey" ( anyone else remember them? )

Minute to remember Dennis' life

Remembering Dennis : "A minute's silence will be held before tomorrow night's home game against Barnet in memory of former United player Dennis Penford who died recently at the age of 80.

Fullback Dennis was a key member of United's first ever promotion team in 1959/60, and he was also a moving force in the foundations of Torre Trojans FC and the Torbay Pioneer League."
