We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our Vice-Chairman Dave Marshall earlier today.

After retiring from a career in the Royal Navy, and working as a Heating Engineer in civilian life, Dave spent almost 10 years on the ground staff at Bayview before taking on the same job at King George V Park, maintaining a pitch widely regarded as one of the best in Junior and Amateur football.

Dave joined the Board of Directors in 2003 and, except for a short sabbatical, has been a member ever since. Dave has also served as Vice-Chairman of East Fife Girls and Women’s Football Club, Secretary of East Fife Supporters’ Club and the Club’s Ambassador for Show Racism the Red Card.

As a life-long East Fife supporter, Dave was a massive presence around Bayview and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Our thoughts are with Dave’s daughter Maureen, son David, and their families at this time.

A full obituary will be published in the next edition of The Bayview.
