ADRIAN TEER: GLENN EMERSON

Glenn Emerson succeeded Adrian as Glenavon Chairman in June 2024.

He paid this tribute:

Adrian Teer was Glenavon Football Club.

Without his inspired leadership over many years our club would not have achieved the success it did.

His complete commitment and professional approach set him apart from many others.

Although I had known Adrian for a long time, it is only in the last year that I got to know him personally. I feel privileged to have become his friend.

When I talked to him about joining the Board of Directors, he gave me the confidence, trust and belief to take my interest further.

Once I became a Director and Chairman, he stood shoulder to shoulder with me providing encouragement, help and advice.

It was an honour to follow someone with his reputation and accomplishments.

His passing is a colossal loss to Glenavon and to the football community.

His place in our club’s history and in the history of Irish football is assured.

Karen and I extend sympathy to his family and close friends. They are in our thoughts and prayers.

Glenn.
