Remembering Sarah, one friend, said: “I had the pleasure of working with Sarah and Mike up at the club many moons ago in the NCEL days. She did an awful lot of the day to day stuff with Mike in the background quietly.

“Without the likes of Sarah giving their time and commitment when times were tough, ensuring stuff got done correctly, there wouldn’t be a Buxton FC today.”

Then on Friday January, 3, the club shared the death of Norman Bradley.
