Steve Flood 1964-2021 (Bishop’s Stortford)

Bishop’s Stortford RFC announce the passing of Steve Flood.

Steve was a highly spirited, fun loving Irishman who played Loose Head Prop at one time or another for all our mens senior teams during the 80’s & 90’s

By profession he was a Veterinary Surgeon at practices in Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford and more recently Saffron Walden.

Along with many of our senior players of that time Steve was a regular visitor to The Fox PH which used to stand in Rye St and it’s there that he met his wife Jane.

But it was our clubhouse that he chose as the venue for his proposal with Jane of course accepting despite her knowing that Steve was ‘pickled’

Steve went on to help with the coaching of our Colts team as well as Mini rugby at Saffron Walden RFC

He was a real character who enjoyed life to the full and will be very fondly remembered by many of our members who played alongside him.

He was just 57 when he died unexpectedly of a suspected heart attack

We would like to send our sincerest condolences to his devastated family, Jane & children Amy, Jack, Louis & Grace.
