Chalfont St Peter AFC are mourning the loss of a former star striker.
Fan favourite Charlie Strutton passed away on Wednesday, February 21, aged 34.
Charlie began his career in the junior teams at Chalfont St Peter AFC and progressed to the senior team in 2006. His goal-scoring prowess became a reliable and central part of the Saints’ successful run to the FA Vase semi-final in 2009 and the Spartan League title in 2011.
He also drew the attention of professional clubs, and was snapped up by AFC Wimbledon in 2012.
Chairman Denis Mair said: “Words cannot express the unbearable sadness I feel following the news of Charlie’s passing. A light has gone out at Chalfont St Peter and for everyone that knew Charlie.
“He will be remembered in the most loving and cherished ways that all good souls who enter our lives, however briefly, are remembered. Our love and condolences from absolutely everyone at Chalfont St Peter go to his family in the knowledge that we’ve all been touched by a rare gift that in time will give us all the strength to carry on.”
