It is with a sad heart that I have to inform you that our Past President, AFA icon & Latymer Old Boy stalwart - Trevor Syms, died yesterday 19th October 2017, after suffering a long battle against illness. He died after suffering a number of heart attacks in the past few months and also contracting MRSA in hospital during his stay. Trevor was my first captain of Latymer Old Boys 6th XI when I started playing in 1971 and I played with him, toured many times with him on Latymer OB Easter tours abroad, sat with him for many years on both Latymer and Old Boys committees in the 1970's & 80's, he certainly will be missed in our level of football. Vivien (his wife) has been in touch with the AFA today to let them know. She said that his heart gave out in the end following the various setbacks which he has suffered with his health recently and he died in hospital. I do not have any details of the funeral arrangements yet but I will circulate these when I receive them.I would ask all referees and teams to respect his memory with a minutes silence before all games tomorrow (21st). RIP Trevor I Ian Andrews AFC Secretary .

![]() (regretfully, we do not have a photograph of Trevor to hand) We have received a message from Vivien Syms to let us know that Trevor suffered a stroke last Sunday and was admitted to North Middlesex Hospital. Trevor’s left side has been affected but he is able to talk. He was later transferred to University College Hospital where he remains at present. Vivien and their daughters are visiting but Trevor has also contracted an MRSA infection and is in an isolation room. Vivien is happy to be contacted by well wishers on her mobile phone on 07905 060599. John Cooke had his hip replacement operation in April but recently has contracted an infection and had to be readmitted to hospital. John is due to have further surgery this afternoon, the first of a two part procedure to sanitise the wound and reinstall the replacement hip. John is expected to remain in hospital for a couple of weeks and will be unable to drive for at least six weeks after that. Our best wishes for full recoveries have been sent to both Trevor and John. This messages was written by John Monk, Referee Administrator for the AFA, and we thank him for sharing it with us.
