Growing up in Basildon, I played football for Beech Utd, Langdon Hills and finally Basildon Boys. My involvement with Youth football started in 2000 when i became Asst Coach at Chelmsford City U8 and then going on to manage at U9/U10. I moved to Broomfield Youth in 2003 when my son joined the club. I assisted with the squad coaching at U12/U13/U14 and took on the club role of Junior Fixture/Registration Secretary in 2007 when the squad moved to the Colchester League.
