Paying tribute to Fred’s memory, Mathew Major, Chairman of Sussex County FA said: “It is with great sadness that I heard that Fred Moore had passed away. Like many in football, I have known Fred for many years, and experienced at first hand, his support for local football, and particularly the club he loved above all others, Whitehawk FC.”

He added, “On behalf of Sussex County Football Association, we send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Fred, and to everyone at Whitehawk Football Club. He will be fondly remembered for many years to come.”
