DAVE KNIGHT - 12/07/55 - 24/08/19

Dave was Leyton Orientear editor when he arranged a tournament for Queen?s Park SFC?s first visit to London in 1988 and, despite never having met any of us, he arranged for us all to stay in people?s houses. 

The tournament was a great success and the CHAOS Cup has continued to bring people together with our team enjoying many a weekend away in London. 

Dave was great company, either in London or Glasgow, as he was passionate about the O?s, football and life in general. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and had an infectious laugh, particularly at the antics of drunken Scotsmen.

Without Dave QPSFC and the Orientear wouldn?t have a relationship that has stood since 1988 and is as strong now as it was at the beginning. He was truly the Top Man.

RIP Dave.

MISHI MORATH - 24/10/66 - 20/12/19

Mishi Morath was undoubtedly one of Dulwich Hamlet FC's greatest supporters and a man who cared for his club and non league football deeply.

He played against QPSFC on Lesser Hampden and Recreation Park Alloa and made numerous visits to the Ian Younger Sixes over the last ten years. He even made his mark in the Lesser game by willingly conspiring with the referee to be "fouled" in the area so Dulwich could get a penalty !

Because of Mishi we got to know Paris St.Germain from Namur in Belgium and they have visited Glasgow on a couple of occasions and we had a great trip to Belgium in 2010.

Mishi was a lovely guy to talk to in person or online and the tributes from so many people both at Dulwich Hamlet and beyond show how much of a top man he was, even if he was never interested in the personal adulation.

Rest in Peace Mishi
