“I look forward to promoting York City in the community and making a difference on the club’s future journey back into the Football League where it belongs.”
Chris Jones: “It is important that we as former players pass on the success and traditions of the past to the present players at the new stadium. Vitai Lampada, we pass on the torch of life. (Henry Newbolt). “Play up and play the game”.
Daniel Parslow: “Having played for the club for so long and still living in York, it’s an honour to be approached to represent the football club in some capacity.
“I look forward to sharing my experiences with the York City faithful, representing the club when asked to do so, and supporting the team from the stands!”
Graeme Crawford: “Just wanted to say thanks for asking me to be an ambassador.
“City was a special club for me and I played in a good team with a great set of lads.
“One of the reasons I would like to do this is to put something back into the club that gave me so much pleasure.”
Pat Lally: “Having played for York City FC for two seasons and a further 13 years at a number of other clubs, I feel honoured and privileged to be asked to contribute and give something back to York City and the game.”
