DEVIZES Town Football Club chairman, Shaun Moffat has been awarded the Toolstation Western League’s unsung hero award.

The Western League is using the current lockdown to celebrate the contribution made by the game’s unsung heroes, without whom clubs wouldn’t survive.

This week, the League is celebrating the contribution Shaun Moffat has made to Devizes.

Club secretary, Neil Fautley nominated Shaun because: “he lives and breaths the club.

“People think the role of a chairman is about sitting there and taking the plaudits, but not Shaun,” said Neil.

“Shaun washes the kit, cleans the changing rooms, cuts the grass and does the maintenance.

“Everything he does is in the best interest of the club. He’s always trying to generate revenue and wants to secure the long term future for Devizes Town. We are a team on and off the field. Not just our volunteers, but our sponsors as well and Shaun is the glue that binds us. He is our Unsung Hero.”
