GFA tributes to 'a true inspiration'
TRIBUTES have continued to pour in for Mike Thomas, with the Guernsey Football Association describing the former physio as 'irreplaceable'.
Guernsey FC chairman Steve Dewsnip was one of those to pay tribute to a man involved in GFC's set-up since day one and who had been vital in its success.
'Mike was a true inspiration to all of us at Guernsey FC and we will miss him, his character, humour and skill massively,' said Mr Dewsnip.
'The fact so many of our players were able to handle the step up in physical commitment from local league football to the demands of over 50 challenging nonleague games per season has been due in large part to his undoubted skill and dedication.
'A true gent and a unique man, I was honoured to regard him a friend and honoured and humbled by the enormous contribution and difference he made.
'We are all so very much better off for having known and worked with him.'
Mr Thomas, pictured, also headed the Guernsey medical team in several Murattis and Island Games.
