OLLIE Rowe, Camelford Football Club Chairman and Rob Cook, Club Treasurer, visited John Rush at his home in Tintagel to present a Life Membership badge to him for his services to Camelford Football Club.

John played for the club for many years and of recent times has attended as many home games of Camelford football team as he could. Sadly his health has deteriorated and is now unable to attend as frequently as he would like.

The Club committee decided to honour him with a Life Membership and this was presented to John on February 2, 2015.

Rob, on behalf of Camelford FC, said: "It gave Camelford Football Club great pleasure in presenting John with the Life Membership Award in recognition of his long playing record.

"John joined the Club as a young teenager in the 1950s from local village Club Otterham and played for Camelford throughout his career notching up around 1000 appearances."
