Very sad to read the passing of two Terror Stalwarts. I think I would recognise Martin Harvey, if he stood on the far side of the ground. Sorry to hear he had to suffer a long illness and my condolences go to his family.
Although I did not know Dave McCann personally, he seemed to be a permanent fixture at the club over many decades. Dave first appeared in the 1965/66 handbook as Assistant Treasurer, taking over the role from Bob Creswell. Bob another very long-term volunteer first joined Mitcham Wanderers in 1920, and continued his duties with the amalgamates clubs, and was Assistant Treasurer for many years. After Bob retired, Dave continued in the same role for many years. The handbook states Dave lived in Bromley, and I believe he may have lived up until his passing.
Over the last few years, I have often been to away games, especially the mid-week games, and witnessed Dave scurrying along the path at quite a rate, despite having a walking stick for assistance. I know he was always with a small group of supporters who went everywhere together.
A true legend for his service to the club, and will be missed by all at the club, especially his close friends and family. May both Dave and Martin rest in peace.
