Meet the coach Martin Brown

Favourite Player: Paolo Di Canio

Earliest Football Memory: Bobby Stokes scoring the only goal in the 1976 FA Cup final verses Man Utd. It was a major upset

Why did you choose to coach grassroots? Like a lot of coaches, I started coaching to help out in my sons team 7 years ago. I then took over the team when the head coach left. It’s very rewarding watching players grow in confidence both individually and as a team.

It’s all about developing technical knowledge and teamwork. I’ve been involved in football for 40 years and just love being involved.
