Sad to see Stourport Swifts chairman Chris Reynolds died last night.
Been around the club a long time & did almost everything there during his time.
RIP Chris

I didn't know him but It's very sad. Cancer I believe.

Wee Jimmy McCue, on here, knew him well.

Played 5-a-side with him a few times. Lovely man. Very sad news.

So very sorry to hear this news. I knew Chris from over 20 years back when I played with him for Colinthians FC in the Birmingham AFA.
A very talented player and a lovely guy respected and popular with everyone who knew him. He put so much time, effort and money into Stourport and was indeed Mr Swift.
I was aware he was quite ill, but understood his condition may have been improving. Sadly, this was one battle Chris couldn't win.
A huge loss to his family - our thoughts are very much with them, and to the Swifts.
R.I.P. Chris.

NB I hope Harriers observe his contribution to the Wyre Forest footballing community before tomorrow's game v Hereford.

Very sad.
Chris was one of those many unsung heroes of grass roots football, who put 100% effort into his club, simply for the love of the game.

Respect.
