Faygate Youth was created in September 2014 in memory of Mike Baxter, who sadly passed away in July 2014. Michael & his wife Linda moved into the village of Faygate in 1984 and Mike soon joined Faygate’s football club as a player at first, before then taking over as manager in 1988. Mike took on various and often multiple positions within the club, combining the roles of chairman, grounds man, sec
retary, treasurer, and general manager of the club running up to two men’s and two youth teams. Mike was the man behind The Faygate 6¬‐a-¬side and it is a tournament he started back in 1988, some 36 years ago! Mike devoted over 25 years of his personal time to fulfill his passion for not only keeping Faygate Football Club going, but also to ensure the great developments and achievements the Club has made. Mike was truly one of the most selfless, loyal and thoughtful people that you could ever meet and had an innocence and genuine ability to see and bring the best out in a person, which has become a foundation that is at the core of this club. Mike clearly was someone who people very much admired and respected and all of us here at Faygate Football Club and all his family are so very proud of him and all that he has achieved
He leaves behind a fantastic club with a great history and heritage, which will always form the basis of the club and one which Faygate Youth FC is very proud to carry forward the legacy that Mike has made for all the community. Two of Mike’s grandchildren Jenson Shorey and Sienna Hodgson are now proud players for Faygate Youth, his Eldest grandchild Bailey Shorey was in the 1st ever Faygate Youth team and played for 9 years with the club!
