Here is an affectionate and well written tribute on the contribution of David Fairbrother to Royal Navy Rugby. It captures him extremely well, in words and through some excellent photographs.
Season after season ‘Fairy’ has delivered great displays on the field in his own larger than life style, initially for Fleetwood RUFC, then the Royal Navy and Combined Services and, since 2014-15, for Fylde.
He’s a hugely popular player at the Woodlands – long may he be turning in performances on and off the field for the Club!
His unique company, Commando Rugby School, embraces the values of rugby together with the excitement, fun, toughness and discipline of the armed services.
Good luck Fairy!
