Unfortunately I today received the very sad news that Jeff Spooner, known by many at the club as Executive Lounge Bertie, sadly passed away on Sunday morning after his battle with illness.
Jeff was a dedicated supporter, travelling many miles from his home on the Kent coast to support the Wings and was a familiar face at PVR.
Our thoughts are with his wife Jenny and the rest of the family at this sad time.

This is really sad news, Jeff was really passionate about WUSA having a voice within the club especially when the club was going through the financial troubles of 2010.
Jeff was always was always good for a chat and beer in the upstairs bar.
Let's win Sunday and do it for Jeff!
My thoughts are with Jenny and his family, RIP Jeff you will be sorely missed.

Sad news, he had been battling illness for some time but still kept his passion for the Wings. I had the pleaure of sitting next to Jeff for years 30 odd years ago and you wont find many supporters who cared as much as he did or put up money when he thought it would help.
My thoughts go to his wife Jen and the rest of his family and those who knew him well.
Lets hope the players go and win tomorrow in his memory.
Absolutely gutted to read this. I only recently messaged him about him coming to Woking. A real Gentleman,devoted Wings fan and all round decent bloke. RIP Brother.
A friendly face over many years far and wide. Always up for a chat and though we disagreed about many things that were not football related the debate was always civilised and put to one side at the end, which is a sadly fading trait these days.
Hopefully he did not suffer much in the end. A pleasure to have known him and will remain in our thoughts and stories going forward. Rest easy mate.
My father was absolutely passionate in his support of Welling United FC.
He was lucky to have had so many kind and equally devoted Wings fans to share this with.
Despite my sorrow, I wanted you to know how your thoughts and wishes have made me
smile and feel happy that he was appreciated by so many, on the terraces.
Thank you so very much, his loving daughter,
