It is with great sadness that the club learns of the passing of former first team coach and under 19's manager, Tommy Watson.
Tommy, alongside managerial partner Lee Scott, arrived at the club in 2013 to take over the running of our under 19's side.
After a year, the under 19's were folded however the pair remained at the club as coaches for our first team before the pair decided to leave in 2015 to take over at Kirton Brickwork.
Tommy remained a great friend to the club after his departure and he would often pay a visit to our home games.
The club has received many, lovely messages since hearing the news with several players who worked under Tommy paying their respects.
Ashley Solomon, who played for under 19's at the time, said: "Very, very sad news. Tommy was a great guy and a great coach."
Former club captain Rob Evans wrote: "Fantastic bloke, great coach and a good friend. RIP Tommy you'll be sadly missed."
Current player Alex Sennett took to Twitter to say: "Tommy and Lee brought me to Ollerton when I was 17, really pushed me on. I'm gutted to hear about this."
Finally, assistant manager Stephen Bodle described Tommy as "a very well liked member of the Ollerton family."
The thoughts of everyone at the club go out to Tommy's friends and family at this difficult time.
A minute's silence will take place ahead of next Saturday's home game versus Skegness Town.
