I am trying to organise a minute's applause for my Uncle, retired Police Sergeant John Quantick, who sadly passed away last Saturday, aged 89, a few weeks before what would have been his 90th birthday on the 26th April.
He was a Police Officer in Torquay and was a keen Torquay United fan and was also a Goalkeeper in the local leagues.
I'm sure a few would have come across him - one way or another!
So I'm hoping via this forum to organise a minutes applause in the 36th minute (as he was born in 1936) at the Home game v Weymouth on Easter Monday to celebrate his life and work in the Community.
If anyone is on the other TUFC forums, please could you post something on there and I will also be posting on the various FB pages that follow TUFC.
Thanks

Hope you’re well.
Just wanted to bump this up as a reminder for this afternoons game
My cousins and my uncles grandchildren will be in attendance so please do join in the applause if you can in the 36th minute and look forward (hopefully) to a TUFC victory!!
Cheers
