Chris Joined Banbury United in November 2003, having previously played for Oxford City, Thame United and Abingdon Town. He was a popular player at the club, not only with his teammates but also with supporters in a two-year spell to November of 2005, playing as a left winger, making exactly 100 appearances for the club and scoring 20 goals. This included playing in one of the club’s biggest games in their history, the memorable play-off win over Sutton Coldfield at the end of the 2003/04 season that saw Banbury promoted to the Southern League Premier Division for the first time.

We reported that Chris was struggling with a serious illness earlier this year. Everyone at the club is deeply saddened that Chris has now passed away at such a young age and would like to send their sincere condolences to his family and friends at this very difficult time.
