It is with great sadness that we announce the passing early this morning of Tommy Moody. A true club stalwart, Tommy was a magnificent servant to Whitley Bay Football Club for well over 30 years. He was Club Secretary for ten years and later became a Director. For many years he ran the canteen and club shop, where his bovril and pies were legendary. Tommy also organised coach travel for supporters, most notably for the long distance FA Vase games including the Villa Park final in 2002 and all three finals at Wembley. He was President of the Supporters Club and had previously served as Chairman.
The most loyal of volunteers, Tommy could be seen at Hillheads almost every day of the week even until very recently. He was a real gentleman and had time for everyone, including fans, officials and players of opposition clubs.
Tommy won the prestigious Northern League Unsung Hero award in 2012 in recognition of his services to north east non league football and Whitley Bay FC in particular.
Tommy will be greatly missed at Hillheads and throughout the non-league football community, and our thoughts and sympathies go to his wife Cynthia and all the family at this very sad time.
