The team of a football manager gunned down in West Wickham has vowed to go on playing in tribute to the coach.

Ryan Musgrove was gunned down during a training session on July 17 and died from a single gun shot wound.

The 36-year-old was shot after a masked man burst from the bushes on Sparrows Den playing fields in Addington Road and opened fire with a hand gun.

Paramedics spent around 45 minutes battling to save Mr Musgrove but he was pronounced dead at the scene at 7.16pm.

He was the first team manager at Coney Hall Football Club and was about to take a training session when he was killed.

On the Coney Hall FC website players said: “While we continue to grieve the loss of Ryan, senior members of the squad and management have decided that he would wish that we carry on with our pre season preparations.

“All involved in the club are determined to do well in the coming season by way of tribute to our lost friend.”

Police have yet to make any arrests in connection with the shooting on the busy playing fields, popular with dog walkers.

The murder is being investigated by the homicide and serious crime command, led by Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane.

DCI McFarlane said: "Mr Musgrove parked at the side of the playing fields just after 6pm that evening.

"He walked through the gate and met two friends. The three men were standing talking at the side of the fields.

“Suddenly a man jumped out of the bushes, fired several shots with a small hand gun, then rode away on a mountain bike across the adjacent field in the direction of New Addington.”

When he struck, the suspect was wearing a hat that covered the whole of his head, large goggles and white surgical mask.

Anyone with any information should call 020 8721 4205 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
