Simon Lawrence
A boyhood Hendon supporter, Lawrence was one of the founding members of the Supporters Trust with Phil Rogers and Mike Harte, before being elected the Trust's first chairman, effectively leading the club during the period between the Trust's formation and the transfer of ownership to the Supporters Trust in 2010.
Upon becoming fully supporters owned in the summer of 2010, Lawrence assumed the mantle of Hendon chairman, since when he has led the club through several years of a nomadic existence to play the leading role in the club still being at Step 3 today.
During Lawrence's tenure as chairman, he oversaw two runs to the Emirates FA Cup First Round, going out at the hands of Chelmsford City and Aldershot Town, two magnificent league campaigns that culminated in narrow play-off final defeats, one Isthmian League Cup triumph, a Middlesex Senior Cup win, and three London Senior Cup successes, with three further final appearances.
Everyone connected with Hendon Football Club owes Simon Lawrence a debt of gratitude, not only for preserving Step 3 status, but for keeping the club alive and leaving it in a much more positive state off the field than it was when he became chairman.
The mantle now passes to Supporters Trust chairman Cyrus Cooper.
Cooper has also been a Hendon supporter since his early years and names John Baker as his all-time favourite Hendon player.
He has been Supporters Trust chairman for several years now, providing the board with outstanding leadership and direction.
