We mourn a Camberley legend

Words from Chris Gibson:

It’s with great sadness that I share the news that former President and Captain of Camberley, Harry Gibson, passed away on the 16th November whilst on holiday in Mexico.

Harry, a tight head prop, joined Camberley in 1968 and played until 1980 with a short break between 1974-76 when he was based in Madrid working for Shell. Harry was Captain of the Club from 1971-1973 and led the Club to its first Surrey Cup triumph in March 1973 in a 12-10 victory over Guildford & Godalming scoring the winning points with a touch line conversion.

Harry was elected President of the Club in 1993 a term he held until 1996, which coincided with the Club winning the Surrey Cup for the 2nd time and a couple of league titles.

As a family we would like to thank everybody who has sent their condolences and memories of Harry, they have helped provide some bright moments as we come to terms with the shock of his sudden passing.

Our anticipation is that the funeral will take place during the w/c 12th December, once we have the final details they will be shared through the Club’s site.
