Dr. Stephen Best, Glenavon FC's chairman, has stepped down from his active role due to a recent health deterioration, confirmed in a statement on the club's website. The 67-year-old doctor, who served as the club's medical officer for 31 years before retiring in 2024, will now hold the honorary chairman title. Best revealed he is undergoing chemotherapy and must avoid crowded spaces, stating he will likely attend games from the stands while wearing a face mask. His resignation comes after being appointed chairman in July 2025. Lawrence Looney will assume the chairman role, with Cathal Morrison and Frazer Follis serving as vice chairmen. Best expressed gratitude for the honorary position, calling his service to Glenavon 'an honour' whether as doctor or chairman.
