During his time at Weymouth, he was selected to play for the Welsh Under 21 side. Alan’s talent meant that he was destined to play at a higher level and in 1974 he was sold to Exeter City for £5500.

In 1979/80 he won the Supporter’s Home Player of the Season award. These achievements stand out, given that Steve played in a Weymouth team alongside other great names from the Club’s archives such as Lawrence, Iannone, Arnold, Courtney McCafferty & Dove. Steve Dyer

Simon regularly featured at the top of the appearance chart before his time at Weymouth ended in 2005.

Outside of football he is also very well known in local Cricket and is Chairman of Weymouth Cricket Club. Simon made a terrific 397 appearances for Weymouth FC and scored 23 goals.
Simon Etherington
For over 20 years, Simon has been one of Weymouth FC’s unsung heroes. Supporting the football team on the pitch has always been his first love, but on several infamous occasions Simon has willingly stepped up to provide critical financial help and guidance, without which it is fair to say the Club may not be here today. Formally Simon has been a Sponsor, Finance Director, and Vice-Chairman. Informally he has, at some point, turned his hand to almost every volunteer role at the club. In September 2024 the Board of Directors acknowledged Simon’s commitment by giving him the honorary position of Lifetime Vice-President. Simon has never run out on the pitch to score a Terras’ match winner, but without him the goalposts may not have been standing.
