Dr. Stephen Best, chairman of Glenavon FC, has announced his decision to step back from active involvement in the club due to a recent deterioration in his health. The chairman revealed he is undergoing chemotherapy and must avoid crowded environments, which has necessitated his withdrawal from day-to-day responsibilities. While he hopes to attend some matches in the future, he will need to remain outside the stadium and may have to wear a protective face mask to comply with his medical requirements.

In his statement, Best expressed his commitment to the club, stating that watching Glenavon win is the best medicine for his recovery. He thanked the Board for granting him the position of honorary Chairman, acknowledging the honor of serving the club in both his capacity as club doctor and chairman. Best emphasized his dedication to Glenavon, even as he prioritizes his health, and closed his message with the club's motto: 'Be just and fear not.'
