Favourite football player: Peter Schmeichel

I am a level 1 FA coach, I Started coaching with my eldest’s son’s team (our current u15’s) when they were half way through their u7’s campaign until my youngest son became old enough to start training starting at the end of year 1.

I got into coaching for my boys, organised football wasn't as dominant as it is now, enjoying to play football as much as I did in school I wanted them to have the same outside of school. It has been incredibly rewarding seeing not just my own children grow and develop but also their team mates.

Thankfully our chairman Kev and Rachel took a massive job on to set up AFC Gnosall giving local children from the village an easier access to football.
