At supporter-owned Exeter City’s match against Swindon Town on Saturday 13th October (happily won 2-0 by City), a presentation of an inscribed silver salver was made by Nick Hawker, Exeter City Supporters’ Trust Chairman, to former player Steve Flack as scorer of the very first goal by Exeter City FC under supporter ownership – against Halifax Town on 9th August 2003.
