Since the beginning in 1981. He was head groundsman at Fulham Football Club at the time and continued to combine both roles for a number of years.

Ah, that's not quite true. After we left Craven Cottage, for the first season at Crystal Palace he, like the rest of us, was just a spectator. For the first season at Chiswick, up until the hiatus in March he helped by marking out the pitch etc. After that , certainly up to the end of the first season back at Crystal Palace he just reverted to spectating again.

So 36 plus years! Could just simply be he has decided he has done his time and wants to retire! Just changed my job after 33 years didn’t leave because it’s poo, could just simply be he wants to watch instead of work at every game.
How many on here stuck with the same employer fr 30 years plus

Was he not Ernie Clays gardener, he got roped in to help out and ended up doing football and rugby. His commitment was such that occasionally when he due to train times he ended up sleeping at railway stations to get to games.
Steve Magee a London legend!!!!
He leaves a big shoes to be filled.

We’ve had the pleasure of quite a few former players coming to games in the last couple of years. Without exception destination one is the changing rooms to talk to Steve. He embodies the truism many seem to forget that a club is much more that the person or people who happen to own it at that particular time. Despite the continuing decline in the Club over the last few years the Broncos are unique; supporting them is a unique experience; and many of the aspects that make this a reality are difficult to define - UNTIL THEY’RE GONE.

Unfortunately, there are no constants in this world, so maybe don’t be so surprised or try to read to much into this, no one goes on forever, but yep shame to see him go. Hope if he comes to watch he gets a free ticket to every game, the bloke has been a good servant to the club.

I would have expected the club to have made an official announcement regarding Steve, thanking him for all he has done for the club etc.
It shows the club in a poor light, for not having done so.
