Everyone at Dundee Football Club was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of one of our colleagues Chris Gaffney. Chris was a valued member of the stadium team at Dens Park where he had worked since 2020 and was always willing to help staff and supporters in any way he could. Chris aged 65 passed away after a short illness and will be deeply missed by all at Dundee Football Club.

Chris was a qualified engineer and started his working life with Bonar Long in August 1975. He later moved to Mitie Facilities Management, before joining Dundee Football Club the club he supported since he was a child. In his early years Chris was a keen footballer playing for the school team at Craigie High. He went on to play Amateur Football in Dundee and was very proud of the amateur sides he played for.

Chris is survived by his wife Cordelia and daughter Tegan. The thoughts of everyone at Dundee Football Club are with them, wider family and friends at this sad time.

The club will pay tribute to Chris before our home match against St Mirren on Saturday 31st August.
