LONG-SERVING secretary, former vice-chairman and head of matchday operations Colin Peake has left Forest Green.
Peake was involved with the club for more than 20 years, during which time they have gone from Southern League minnows to a full-time and highly ambitious Blue Square Premier outfit.
He was one of the driving forces in keeping the club afloat when it came close to collapse prior to Ecotricity taking over at the New Lawn in August 2010.
Rovers chairman Dale Vince said: “Everyone at FGR holds a debt of gratitude to Colin for his significant contribution to the club over a number of years.
“On behalf of FGR, I wish to thank Colin for all of his efforts and hope that he remains to be involved with the club where he will always be welcome.”
