Arlesey Town v Winslow United South Midlands League 7th Dec 2024

McCoolToTalk

In really difficult conditions in Bedfordshire Arlesey was one of the few games that went ahead. Credit to the volunteers who got the pitch playable. Despite the conditions it was clear Arlesey had a vision of how they wanted to play and all credit to the young manager. The club were terrific and so welcoming. Up there with the best. Phil Cavener proudly shared his memories of that Wembley FA Vase win and showed me round the wall of pictures. Thanks to Phil Chris and staff for such great manners.

Its always great to see my old players and Alex Taylor battled through a really tough half against the wind whilst Andrew Osie Bonsu put in a great display at Centre Back. As always, so polite and delighted to get the skipper on with the young manager Tommy Cooney. It was the first time meeting him and he impressed me a lot. Humble from the kick off but also knows what he wants and has a clear vision. Comes across like really good guy and I really wish him success with Arlesey as they look to return to the good times.
