Cornwall RFU are saddened to learn of the passing of former county player Steve Bird.
Steve played for Cornwall during the 1983/84 season on the wing.
The following is from Stroud RFC his club and we join with them in expressing our condolences to the family.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Bird, on Tuesday 27th May.
Reflecting on his time with us at Stroud, his family has noted: “Steve played rugby for Stroud and represented Cornwall, he was always very proud to have done this as at the time the county championship would have all the top players from all the clubs playing in it. He was the points record holder at Stroud for many years, until this was beaten by Julian Harry! Steve would always remind Julian that try’s used to be worth 4 points in the day and not five, when Julian beat his record.”
Stroud Rugby extends their deepest condolences to Steve’s friends & family, and our thoughts remain with them all during this difficult time.
Stephen Bird’s funeral will take place on July 7th at Westerleigh Crematorium, 1.15 pm.
