Youngsters Mourns A Great Gentleman
Nadur Youngsters are mourning the loss of one of its founder members, Horace Mercieca. Horace was not only a founder member; he also gave the name (Youngsters) to the club. Horace played for a good number of years with Nadur, as a goalkeeper and was a member of the first Championship winning side during the 1967-68 season. His last direct involvement with the club was last June, when, during the re-opening of the refurbished bar area at the club, he recalled his memories of the Youngsters throughout the years. He was also a very good example for the youths. Mr. Mercieca coached the Youngsters team, and was also a coach with other clubs in Gozo. Our deepest sympathy goes to his dear family and friends. May he rest in Eternal Peace.
