WHERE'S NOREEN

Printed in the Southern League Premier Division game v Redditch United Tuesday 6^th February 2018. We won 4-0 in front of 375.

When Pete Bridle comes to a game, the first thing anyone ever says to him is 'Where's Noreen?' His mum is one of our longest serving and most loyal supporters having been supporting Slough for over 50 years and attending over a thousand games. Time to shine a floodlight on her!

Born in County Kerry in the Republic of Ireland in the 1930's, Noreen's first Slough game was at the Dolphin in the mid' 60's along with husband Max and sons Ted and Pete.

Favourite Player? Ed Smith

Favourite Manager? Steve Bateman

Football Hate? Having my bag and body searched at Southport away in the FA Trophy semi-final

Claim to Fame? The argument with Richard Stokes, then leader of Slough Council at a council meeting concerning our new ground. Also the two days protest outside the town hall asking the council to get behind the new ground.

Football likes? Travelling to away games on the Slough coach and enjoying the company of the family of Slough supporters. The atmosphere at home games, meeting all the fellow supporters and hearing what's going on.

The high spots? Receiving the Supporter of the Year award two seasons ago. Heading the ball against Farnborough recently. We were expecting a bid from Farnborough to sign her up but the approach was turned down by the club

Hopes for the future? With the home coming of the club and the good work carried out by everyone from Steve Easterbrook and the Trust and supporters, we have seen the club grow and encourage new supporters old and new

Final thoughts? Remembering all the people associated with the club who have passed on from our football family.

“Once a Rebel always a Rebel”

Noreen - You deserve a medal!
