Dorchester Town wish their ‘Del Boy’ a speedy recovery and happy retirement

Dorchester Town chairman Scott Symes led the tributes to the BetVictor Southern League club’s much-loved kitman Del Taylor on his retirement.
A club legend and firm favourite in the dressing room with Magpies players past and present after two decades of service.
On Wednesday afternoon he set out the Dorchester’s black and white striped kit at The Avenue for the final time ahead of Salisbury’s arrival on Saturday.
The Magpies chairman also wished Taylor, pictured, a speedy recovery from the recent health problems that played a part in his decision in a statement on the Southern League Premier Division South club’s website and Twitter account.
