A bit of a longshot really - someone has told me that Dermot has passed away. I knew him when he was Secretary at Morecambe Football Club prior to myself taking over, early 1990's. I know he umpired in the Lancashire League, but have lost touch with him over the last few years. If anyone knows any details regarding funeral, I and Morecambe Football Club, would be very grateful. If you could post them on here it would be most helpful. I know its not quite Burnley FC forum stuff, so I hope people will understand, although Dermott did have a connection with the Clarets as his nephew kept goal in the FA Youth Cup Final in 1968

Many Thanks, Neil Marsdin

I would add that Dermot lived in Burnley for most for most of his life, and if my memory serves me correctly lived on Hebrew Street. I think he had been an official at Rossendale and Clitheroe before coming to Morecambe.

I used to look after his mum in a home and he was a lovely guy and we chatted about football alot. RIP my friend.

Burnley crem on Thursday at 3.40pm

Just bumping in case it hasn't been seen.

Thanks, have seen it and let a number people who new Dermot through football know.
