MARTIN F. TURNER - R.I.P.
It is with much sadness that we announce the death of one of Surrey Rugby's stalwarts. In addition to playing wing three-quarter for England in the late 50's, Martin served as President of the County for 2 separate terms of office. He was a Priveleged Member of the R.F.U. An Old Whitgiftian, he will be remembered for his huge wit, kindliness and generosity.
