I have been mindful that I have never really signed off properly and wanted to just post a final message.
In doing so just wanted to pay tribute and thank you to my friend, your friend, footballs friend John Braddick.
John has been such a wonderful source of friendship, support, advice and wisdom (not to mention fish!) over the years that we co-managed the Central City team. His unfailing support and motivation to be involved in youth football over the years has been really inspirational. I hope you read this John, I miss you and I know the boys do as well.
John has been involved in football, both playing and coaching for most of his life, I am sorry that we didn't get to finish in the manner that we would have wanted but hope that you will still get to enjoy the game and I am sure that you will continue to take a keen interest in youth and adults football.
I love this image taken by Jo at the Plate final in Tiverton, coolness personified....we complimented each other well!!
Best wishes to everyone and hope that you all keep enjoying football and sport, whether watching, playing or supporting.
Regards
Mark
