Eddie BUCKLEY
Eddie was a great servant to the club - not as a player but as a valued member of the backroom staff. He arrived at the County Ground in 1963 to assist Jack Conley with the running of the club's youth teams that played in the Borough, Wessex and Hellenic Leagues. He was employed on a part-time basis, holding down a full-time job outside football. Eddie was kit manager by the time he was made redundant some 37 years later.
