Doidge, Roger

Roger Doidge served as an Exeter City Supporters' Trust board member between 2003 and 2011. 

Roger, who was a trustee throughout the first eight years of supporter ownership, saw his first game at St James' Park in April 1960 when the Grecians drew against Crystal Palace.

After winning a scholarship to Exeter School, he became part of an impromptu "Cowshed Choir" with several of his schoolmates and - during the school holidays - he would sometimes watch the players train at St James' Park. This led to an offer from manager Jack Edwards to act as a ballboy, an experience that lasted for more than two years including the 1963/64 promotion season.
