We have sad news to announce the passing of Roland Bermel who was a player, Treasurer and Teacher at Parmiters School in both Bethnal Green and Garston.
He joined the club in mid 1970s and I had the privilige of playing with him for around 20 years. As a player he had what we would call a sweet left foot as he scored many goals from distance and I was lucky to see many of them. He was a true Old Parmiterian in every sense and represented the club in such a positive way both on and off the field. He left Teaching to work in banking as an accountant and so took up the mantle as club Treasurer for over 20 years performing his duties in a diligent and efficient way.
The photo attached was taken at last year's OPFC Dinner.
He was a gent in every sense and we will all miss him. He leaves behind his wife Janet and his three children. RIP Roland
