Goalkeeper Terry Buss is due to make his 8⃣0⃣0⃣th First Team appearance for the club.
All at Middlesex FA congratulate Terry on not only his longevity in the game but also his loyalty to the club he joined over 20 years ago - Enjoy your moment!
We at Middlesex FA will always remember his infectious smile and the constant entertainment and laughter he bought to all at the our old Roxborough Road offices.
Isaac has been around Middlesex football for many years and had been encountered by many. Isaac, you will be missed.
We have been informed that former MFA Councillor, Middlesex County Sunday League Official and Club Secretary for Harmondsworth FC, Danny Sharma passed away this morning after contracting Coronavirus.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this terrible time.
Sad day at Middlesex FA as we say goodbye to one of our own Stuart Allen.
Stuart has been with the organisation for 17 years, and his drive and passion was vital in the move to Rectory Park. Best of luck to Stuart in his retirement! 👍⚽️
