As well as being a lifelong Pilgrims supporter, Foot served on the Argyle board from 2001 until 2005 during which time the Devon club won promotion from League Two to the Championship.[LNB]Chairman Sir Roy Gardner said: "It is with great sadness the club has learnt of the death of Michael Foot. Michael was a highly valued director of the club, helping to pave the way for the success Argyle has enjoyed since 2001.[LNB]"Much more than that, he was a much-loved member of the Green Army, who stood on the terraces in the days of legends like Sammy Black and Jack Leslie, and was passionate about spreading the Green gospel.[LNB]"I know I speak for Argyle supporters everywhere when I say Michael will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. He was many things to many people but to the Green Army Michael was simply a fellow Pilgrim."[LNB]Argyle's players will wear black armbands at Saturday's Championship home game against Preston as a mark of respect.[LNB][LNB]
