Sad news at the end of 2016

"It is with great sadness that I report the passing of a great mate and Purley RFC legend.
Some of you will already know that Russ the Bus Souter died unexpectedly yesterday due to a suspected heart attack.
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with Denise and their lovely daughters Beth and Hannah."
The Club would like to pass on its sincerest sympathy Russ's family and friends.
