Brian Lock 'Locky' | Sports Club Chairman

 

To have to write a few words about the passing of anyone who has been involved in our club at any time is extremely difficult but to have to write about someone who I was honoured enough to call a friend is even more so. Brian Lock our Sports club chairman lost his battle with cancer ten days ago and after a five-year battle it was time for him to move on. Brian started at the club as a youth manager running his boys’ team right up to Under 18`s and whilst by his own admission not exactly the Pep Guardiola tactically (very few are by the way) he created an environment where the players would run through a brick wall for him, and they knew he had their back. Many of those young players went on to become lifelong friends and that’s part of Lockys charm he just connected with people particularly football people and he must have literally had one ex player or another labouring for him over the years and honestly half the time he may not have needed them but they needed a job and some money and for some it kept them on the straight and narrow until they figured out what they wanted to do.


Locky then went on to become reserve team manager and then very quickly first team manager and he carried out that role with the same commitment and enthusiasm as he had managed the youth side, but he got to have a beer with the men’s team afterwards and the bonds grew stronger, again many of those players remained close friends with him to this day. I don’t know how many times we were out and about and someone would come over to say hello and I would say “Who’s that?” and he would say “ that’s so and so he used to play for me back in the day, good player” and he always remembered who they were and asked about their family he had a brilliant memory about who`s who and what their family situation was.
In my opinion his greatest achievement at the club though was when he became Sports Club chairman and oversaw the whole club bringing people together, getting the differing sections to work more closely as whilst football was his first love at the club he also recognised we could have a harmonious relationship with the cricket or catering section and it was in all our interests to pull together for the greater good, for the good of the whole club. A lot of change has happened over the last seven years and all the improvements at the club he has had a major part in, the canopy out the front during and after covid, assisting senior football with huge support for the grounds fencing, floodlights, dugouts, and new stand. He was buzzing when we achieved something that would help the next generation of young player coming through.
Locky, He got to see his grandkids in the red and black of Wormley and he was so pleased when he would walk back to the café on a Saturday morning and tell the football committee where the under 8`s had done well or gone wrong!!
Locky made time for everyone, made time to listen to them and that is such a skill, he cared passionately about people at the club , he cared passionately about the club and always wanted it to improve.
On a personal note I drove him to Madrid in 2020 for the Champions league final as we were both Spurs fans and we weren’t sure it was ever going to happen again, now the idea of spending 36 hours in a car with someone is not my idea of fun but I can honestly say I laughed for ninety nine per cent of the time during our journey, we absolutely put the world to rights and he really opened up about his life, his childhood and growing up. We shared a lot which is not for onward publication but when he said on the way home with my son Connor in the car who we had met out there and travelled back “What was the first record you bought?” I had to say, “Enough is enough we have been in the car far too long if you are asking me that, its not a date!!!” and he let out that great big Locky laugh and probably swore at me under his breath. We ate green chicken in our stopover in San Sebastian and stayed in a hotel that was something out of a horror film, but I wouldn’t have wanted to have that experience with anyone else.
Another quick story if I may, around the time he became ill and started some treatment he was doing some work at my house, fitting a kitchen and putting a roof lantern in the roof of the extension and because he was having treatment and having to go to the hospital a lot at that time the work went on for months which was fine as we both knew if he was pottering about at mine he wasn’t thinking about his condition every minute of the day and working at mine became a great distraction for him at that time. My grandson 4 at the time, in school was asked about his family and to name them, so he did “Mummy, Daddy, my sister Belle, Jax the dog, Nanna, Grandad and Yocky………” so when the teacher asked who was Yocky, he said “Oh he lives with Nanna and Grandad and runs Wormley” in his mind Locky had spent so long at mine that he thought he was part of the family.
 
The world needs people like Brian Lock a man who selflessly volunteered his time all of his adult life to improve the lives of other, whether as a coach, youth manager, reserve and first team manager, as a dedicated committee man, as someone who washed the kits of the senior teams to try to save the club monies, as someone who done countless repairs at the club for free over the years, who gave his all for a club he loved and gave his all to a group of members of the club that absolutely adored him, he was a big man in every sense of the word but he was also a gentle giant and there will always be a Locky sized hole in our club going forward. We will be organising something to commemorate him at the club but will liaise with the family once the funeral has passed
 
We were lucky enough to be part of his football family and we should be grateful that we got to spend so much quality time with him, for his own family this is a devastating time for them, and we send our love and support to Deb his wife, David, Mike, and Ashleigh his children and to his grandkids too.  We have lost a club legend and the place will never be the same again, its time to hang up your boots mate and rest well, we will finish the work you started, and I hope we make you proud
 
Brian Lock Rest In Peace

Message from the Chair...

 

Good afternoon today's visitors to the lane are Park View only three days after their last visit here in midweek when they defeated our tenants Brimsdown Rovers 3-2, so we will expect them to have gained some confidence from that result. Previous league form has been up and down which sees them currently lying in the bottom third of the division. We welcome their players officials and spectators and hope they enjoy their visit but leave us with the points from today. Wormley come into the game on the back of three straight wins which has seen us climb to sixth place and only four points off top spot, so let's hope that form continues. COYW

 

COYW let's get the three points for Brian.

Match Reports:

 

Wormley went into their midweek game with NW London on the back of a disappointing defeat to Hutton a game they really deserved to win. Their opponents were pointless sitting in bottom place but some of their football was excellent and Wormley struggled to get into the game. However NW had a man sent off after 30 minutes which would eventually prove the difference. It was not until the fifth minute of injury time at the end of the first half when Craig Tolley headed home from a corner that Wormley finnaly broke the deadlock. NW London did not lie down however and equalised mid way through the second half with a well taken individual goal. This stirred Wormley into life and after some sustained pressure that man Tolley again powdered in another header from Oakley's corner to put us in front and substitute Serge Erkarslan put the game beyond doubt with a neat finish into the corner from fifteen yards to make it 3-1.


Last Saturday saw us travel to play Hackney wick and come away with another 3-1 win. After a well observed minutes silence to mark the tragic loss of long serving Wormley committee man Brian Lock Rovers playing some excellent passing football racing into a 2-0 lead by half time courtesy of a splendid free kick from the re signed George Beattie, and an excellent header from Elliot Champness after a fine passing move. Hackney Wick looked a changed team in the second half however and consistently caught Wormley on the break. They reduced the defecit on 70 minutes and the result could have gone either way at this point. But for better finishing Hackney wick could have been in front. The victory was finally sealed courtesy of substitute Dylan Bonfield after a neat interchange of passes saw him clean through to secure the win.

 

On a blistering hot day Wormley faced Barkingside at the lane. After an impeccable minutes silence in tribute to Brian Lock the team did him proud with a fantastic start with two goals in the first seven minutes from Alex Michealides and new signing Micheal Mignot. Barkingside couldn't get anywhere near Wormley with their superb passing football in full flow. After fifteen minutes Luke Marshall added a third after great link up play with the returning Archie Hammond to put the result beyond any doubt.

The heat really took its toll in the second half as the game fizzled out as a contest, the only two moments of note being two missed penalties one from each side as both keepers saved the spot kicks. The young visiting keeper deserved credit for several good saves to keep the score at three particularly his penalty save tipping Reece Monsanya's kick onto the bar. This was nine points from nine and we look for a win today as we face Park View who are in the lower reaches of the league.

PARK VIEW F.C. - HISTORY
 

We are a London based, non-profit making body that organises and manages a  small football club, with the objective of developing young and adult talents from  different communities, in the hope that some of them will progress through the  amateur level to the professional levels. Equally, by supporting social diversity  and community integration, we hope to also help build confidence and friendship  within the different communities.  

 

We started in summer 1991 at Chestnuts Park (Opposite St. Ann’s Hospital,  South Tottenham N15) as a group of friends and family kicking about every  Sunday afternoon, then progressed to organising football matches against other  friends, who had taken the same cue and interest in kicking about every Sunday  in other parts of London. We then moved a few times around, before settling at  Down Lane Recreational Ground, Park View Road Tottenham in summer 1996.  

 

In 2003 we got affiliated with Middlesex County Football Association (MCFA) and  joined the Ghana Football Society (GFS) League, which we initiated and help to  formalise through the MCFA. In 2005, Park View FC through commitment,  discipline and hard work was awarded The FA Charter Standard, which we have  continued to renew every year through the FA’s Annual Health Check. We are also  active members of the Haringey Football Development Forum, with our Chairman  as President who works in partnership with Tottenham Hotspurs and the London  Borough of Haringey to develop football within the borough. In the last few years,  we have been working with ‘Get Active London,’ ‘Pro-Active London’ and ‘InterActive’ to encourage participation by disabled people, ethnic minorities and other  inactive social groups as demonstrated in our previous fitness projects with  Health for Haringey and our new Soccer Fitness project every summer. As a way  of recognising our efforts in the community, we were nominated as Adult Club of 

 

the year for 2010 and Best Club Coach in 2011 by Haringey Borough at the  ‘Haringey Celebrating’ Sports Awards. 

 

 

We currently have 5 teams which include a Senior Men’s Team, a Female Team in  the GFS Social Women’s League and 3 College Youth and Juniors Teams, one of  which is in the LFL & ELE League. As part of our School Links and Satellite Sport  Club Partnership Project, we also work with Park View Academy, Seven Sisters  Primary School in Haringey and deliver free Football Coaching Sessions for  College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL). 

With this firm club structure in place along with the relentless efforts of all our  Management, Coaching Staff, Volunteers and Members, Park View FC have  enjoyed continuous success throughout the years.
