Our Committee
Terrence Wilkins
Chairman
Commonly known as Wacka, I joined Albion Rovers in 1975. I played 494 games and scored 79 goals for which I held the position as Captain. My last competitive game was on 11th April 1999, we played against Milford Haven in the The Welsh League, unfortunately we lost 3-1 but I scored the only goal for Albion Rovers.
Mike Desmond
Treasurer
I joined Albion Rovers in 1980. Unfortunately, after only playing 9 games I suffered a bad ankle injury which never properly healed and so I had to give up playing football.
However, I already had the Albion bug at that stage and stayed a club member even until this day, over 43 years later.
Sarah Yemm
Club Secretary
The newest member of the committee I joined in 2021 I am a huge advocate of engaging children in positive activities and so took it upon myself to support the Mini’s section when my youngest son joined at U6’s. However, over the last couple of years my role has expanded and I now provide secretarial support to the whole of the club.
