FROM THE BOARDROOM: STEVE DICKSON – CHAIRMAN OF

BILLINGE FC Following on from two tremendous victories

last week with the first team getting a great

result away at Crewe we fell back to earth

with a bang losing 5-1 at home to Garswood.

The result flattered The Wooders and I felt

after we went one-up - through an excellent

goal against his old club – from Jonny Clark

I thought we might get something from the

game but it wasn’t to be.

Garswood United showed what a very good

team and I’m pleased for Cosh and Andy

Clough and praise must go out to the

Garswood committee who stuck with Cosh

when things weren’t going as well as they could have done.

It shows that you have to be patient in football and although we are in a

results business it takes time to get things right.

What Garswood do very well is ‘get things right off the pitch’ and as a

committee we are striving to do the same with Billinge FC.

The committee is putting in a huge amount of work to get things right

off the pitch and we feel that all those hours of hard work are beginning

to pay off.

We are definitely getting there and if you look at the same hard work

that Fletch, Geoff Parr and Dave Wood are putting in managing our

senior sides it is safe to say we can begin to look forward to next season

with confidence.

But before that we have games to play and I’d like to welcome the

management, players and supporters of Barnton FC to Barrows Farm.

They have had a superb season and are both challenging for the title and

looking forward to entering the North West Counties next season. All at

Billinge wish them well – after these next two games obviously.

Don’t forget to visit the Boot Room Café to sample Jayne’s legendary

Finally may I congratulate Geoff and his reserve lads for getting

through to the Northern Cup semi-final. Today they are at Egerton and

still have a chance for the title. Here’s hoping…

BEST WISHES STEVE

WORD FROM THE GAFFER After weeks of injuries, lads being

unavailable due to work commitments and

poor second-half displays costing us dearly,

everything came together away to second in

the league Crewe FC two weeks ago.

Unfortunately last week I had lads missing

through suspension, work and injury and

again it showed as we lost to a very good

Garswood team.

We have the potential at the club. We just

need to get the commitment from

everybody. If we do that – along with some

new additions that we have already identified – then we will have a good

season next year.

However we need to finish this season strongly. Last week we went in at half-

time all square and apart from a couple of quibbles I was pleased with how the

lads played. Unfortunately they ran away with it late in the game when their

superior fitness told. Again this is something we have to work on in pre-

season and more importantly throughout the season.

I also felt we were undone by a few strange decisions by the officials but that

is over with and we look forward to taking on an excellent Barnton side at

Barrows Farm today.

If we play as I know we can then we will give them a real game and myself

and all the lads are really looking forward to the game.

Meanwhile I’d like to congratulate Geoff Parr and all his reserve lads for

getting through to the Northern Cup semi-final. We have won this trophy for

the last two seasons and we have no intention of giving it up!

Geoff and myself will be working very closely as the season nears the end as

we have a large number of games to get through between us and both squads

will be stretched to the limit. This is a great opportunity for some of the

reserve lads to step up to the first team where we can have a look at what they

can do and a chance for some of my young lads to help Geoff out, There is

still a lot of football to go. We’ll then have two weeks off and then get our

football heads on again and start planning for next season.

Finally as this is the last programme before Adam Clare plays at Wembley in

the Budweiser Open trials may I – on behalf of all the players at the club –

wish him all the very best.

COYS Yours Gareth Fletcher

A VIEW FROM THE TERRACES:

The charity shop is the new boutique: The days of getting excited

when going in to clothes shops are (sadly) few and far between for me now. It’s an age thing I’m aware of that but if you add in the fact you can order “stuff” off the internet, everybody is wearing the same shoes etc etc my interest has fallen dramatically. For sure (to quote Harry Redknapp) I still like my clobber but that frisson of walking into

a shop picking up the goods, the smell of leather shoes, the quality workmanship of a jacket just doesn’t happen anymore.

That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped looking. A trip into the West End or (now) the hipster East End is still high on my agenda and it’s a pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon. There is some fantastic stuff around, the prices are reasonable when you compare them to how much a pint of beer has risen. And to use another beer analogy all the menswear shops are a bit Wetherspoons. Same menu, same bevvies. And, and… It’s a young man’s game.

As I say the buzz has gone. It’s all a bit too easy. But what do you do when you’ve spent a lifetime rummaging in boutiques and ‘happening’ shops? It was difficult to give up on but I’ve managed it and the reason for that is I’ve found a new passion. I now spend – what seems like - every waking hour of leisure time in charity shops and vintage shops.

That’s the buzz. In a strange town and the first thing I head for are the charity shops. Of course on the outside they all seem the same. Same crockery, same James Cameron paperbacks, same smell! But once in them you do not know what you’ll find. Records, clothes, books, nick-nacks (now there was a good shop but I digress) and general crap.

In fact 99% of the shops’ produce is crap but it’s that one per cent that is pure gold. It helps having a good eye so you can get in and out as it is an arduous task. You can go for weeks without spotting anything and then all of a sudden you’ll spot ten gems in a week.

Patience is a virtue. In fact it is one of the golden rules. I won’t list them all because if you are a kindred spirit you’ll know what to do but if I had just two tips to give you they would be: a) Do your homework. Know your clothes. Know the labels but don’t be blinded by them. Check where the garment was made, check the quality oh… and if it looks like it might be a fake it will be one! b) Never leave something in the shop if you want it. If it’s a quality item then it’ll be gone when you come back!

REALITY ON MERSEYSIDE?

Vauxhall Motors will leave the

Skrill North at the end of the season

after they tendered their resignation

to the Football Conference.

Motors, 15th in the league and 11

points clear of relegation, are hoping

a drop in leagues will ease their

financial worries.

The Motormen famously beat QPR

on penalties in the FA Cup in 2002

and boss Carl Macauley has worked wonders in recent years to keep the club

at Step 2.

However, chairman Alan Bartlam says they cannot sustain playing so high in

the Pyramid and that they are hoping to protect the future of the club.

He said: “This now unsustainable position has been going on for several years.

Vauxhall Motors like many other clubs are confronted with the reality of low

gates and ever-increasing costs.

“It is anticipated this season will result in another sizeable financial loss

eating into a legacy of finances that we were fortunate to inherit over a decade

ago and to do nothing would be foolhardy.

“As a responsible committee administering a club that was founded over 50

years ago and a club that we would wish to continue for another

50, with responsibilities beyond the Football Conference, to some 30 teams,

youth, junior and ladies catering for over 400 children within

Ellesmere Port and beyond, it has become necessary to withdraw the senior

side from the established pyramid.”

It is expected that only two teams will now be relegated from the Skrill North

to Step 3 at the end of the season.

Meanwhile over in Birkenhead Cammell Laird FC have issued the

following statement on their club website: Due to a long running issue

surrounding the ownership of the football club (Cammell Laird FC Ltd), the

committee have notified the Directors that they will no longer operate and

administer the company as from the end of season 2013/14.

The Evo-Stik League have also been informed.

Any further official statements will be issued via the website.

Looking around the forums and websites nobody seems to know what this

means. It appears the committee will no longer run the club next season does

that mean the club will fold/leave the League? I think it’s a case of ‘watch this

space’.

Barca ban! Spanish Champions Barcelona have been handed a 14-month transfer ban after a FIFA investigation. The club will not be allowed to sign any domestic or international players for the next two transfer windows, meaning they cannot buy players until the summer transfer window in 2015. The charges relate to numerous foreign signings for Barca's infamous youth system, with the Spanish FA also being charged for failing to follow FIFA ­ regulations. On FIFA's official website, a statement

read: "The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) and Spanish club FC Barcelona for breaches relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18." The sanctions follow investigations initially conducted by FIFA Transfer Matching System GmbH (FIFA TMS) over the course of last year and subsequently by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee as part of disciplinary proceedings. The RFEF and FC Barcelona were found to have violated several provisions concerning the international transfer and first registration of non-Spanish minors with the club, as well as other relevant regulations with regard to the registration and participation of certain players in national competitions. The investigations concerned several minor players who were registered and participated in competitions with the club over various periods between 2009 and 2013." According to FIFA regulations, international transfers can only take place if the player in question is over 18, but there certain circumstances where an underage player can be transferred, subject to an 'evaluation by the sub-committee of the Player's Status Committee'. Young players can be internationally ­ transferred should the committee find that it would not have an adverse effect on the minor's life, as a young person, ­ essentially “the interest in protecting the appropriate and healthy development of a minor as a whole must prevail over purely sporting interests.”

The statement continued: "FC Barcelona has been found to be in breach of art. 19 of the regulations in the case of ten minor players and to have committed several other concurrent infringements in the context of other players, including under Annexe 2 of the regulations." "The Disciplinary Committee regarded the infringements as serious and decided to sanction the club with a transfer ban at both national and international level for two complete and consecutive transfer periods, together with a fine of CHF 450,000. Additionally, the club was granted a period of 90 days in which to regularise the situation of all minor players concerned." Barcelona this week played out a 1-1 draw with title rivals Athletico Madrid in their Champions League Quarter final first leg, with Neymar, who has been subject to scandal over his transfer, scoring Barca's goal.

Premier League: Norwich players pay back fans who went to Swansea In an unusual, but welcome gesture, Norwich City's players will reimburse the admission price for all the Norwich City fans who travelled to watch Saturday's 3-0 loss at Swansea City. The squad decided to the make the gesture as a thank you to the 899 fans who made the 612-mile round trip. Norwich captain Russell Martin, said: "All the lads really felt for the fans at the end of Saturday's game. "Hopefully this will help them with the cost of travelling to our next away

game at Fulham." Martin said: "These next few games are obviously vital and the support and the atmosphere at our recent win over Sunderland at Carrow Road made a massive difference. "So hopefully they'll get right behind us again this Saturday when we play West Brom, at Fulham and in all of our remaining games, to help us finish as high up the table as possible." Norwich are six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with just one win from their last five matches. They travel to bottom of the league Fulham today. The Canaries home form has underpinned the Premier League survival and 24 of their 32 points have come at Carrow Road. Their travelling fans have had to suffer one of the worst away records in the sector with just two wins and two draws to show all season.

GET ON BOARD…

A ground-breaking initiative designed to get more former professional players onto club boards, and make football’s boardrooms more diverse, was celebrated at Wembley Stadium this week. 14 former footballers including Les Ferdinand, Chris Ramsey, Ian Taylor and Nathan Blake, will graduate from a Corporate Governance course, entitled: “On Board”, which has been funded by the

Professional Footballers’ Association. The initiative is the brainchild of former Blackburn Rovers and Wigan striker, Jason Roberts MBE, ex Portsmouth and West Brom defender, Darren Moore, and former Birmingham City duo Dave Barnett and Michael Johnson. The players worked together with leading corporate governance specialist Professor Karl George MBE and sports journalist, Leon Mann, to develop the course. On Board, accredited by the Association of Corporate Governance Practitioners, has been delivered by The Governance Forum and has been warmly welcomed by the football authorities. The initiative will provide the game with a pool of former players, who are qualified and prepared to apply for boardroom positions across football, as well as also outside of the industry. On Board participant and PFA Management Committee member, Jason Roberts MBE said: "Former footballers can play a key role on the boards of football clubs, and indeed businesses. "Traditionally footballers have been encouraged into other areas of the game, and not the boardrooms. We want to change that. "Players are leading this move for better representation in the boardroom - and the On Board course is a great first step." Professor Karl George MBE, Managing Director of The Governance Forum, added: “There has never been a greater need to make an impact on boards in the private, public and voluntary sector and attracting people from diverse backgrounds is critical. "The success of any organisation is hindered by not having competent and committed board members and although they must work together as a cohesive team, ‘group think’ is a major challenge to be avoided at all costs.” PFA Chief Executive, Gordon Taylor OBE stressed the importance of the project: “We are fully committed to this innovative programme of development for our players. Focusing on governance and boards across football, sport and further afield for our players and ex-players provides a real opportunity. "We see this as one of the many areas of support that we provide for our players which will equip them with career opportunities and experiences after their playing

careers.” footballtradedirectory.com

Last Tuesday Atherton Collieries travelled to Rochdale Town for a North West Counties Division One game, scored six goals and unbelievably still lost; 8-6! The NWCFL website reports: Rochdale Town's amazing 8-6 win over Atherton Collieries in the Division One clash at the Mayfield Sports Centre on Tuesday was a record breaking game. The result at Rochdale is the first time since the NWCFL began in 1982 that a score of 8-6 has arisen in either a league or cup game, although there have been four games that came close, one of them involving Rochdale in the days when they were known as Castleton Gabriels. On the 15th November 1994, Glossop North End beat Castleton Gabriels 8-5 after extra time at Surrey Street in a League Challenge Cup 2nd round replay. More recently, on 15th Oct 2011, Stone Dominoes and Runcorn Linnets also shared 13 goals in a Premier Division clash in Staffordshire, with Linnets emerging 8-5 winners. Perhaps more surprisingly, Colls are the third team in NWCFL history to score six goals in a game and not win. The previous two instances were in Division Two games as follows: 6th February 1993 - Westhoughton Town 7 Burnley Bank Hall 6 15th March 2004 - Great Harwood Town 6 Holker Old Boys 7

SO, did they get you? April Fools’ Day is quickly turning into a competition to see which clubs can come up with the best tall tale to pull a prank on their own supporters. Tuesday passed by with the usual collection of well thought-out stunts announced online, with social media providing the perfect rod to collect some bites from the unsuspecting public. Some of course will leave you wondering if, just if, they are actually real – step forward Farnborough! Now here we have a club that announced in all seriousness let's not forget that they will be renaming their players after world greats to compete in the Skrill South. Zinedine Zidane, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona would all be going in to battle against the likes of Tonbridge Angels and Whitehawk – that was last August, not April. The brainchild of PaddyPower was thankfully short circuited by the Conference after a few days of general tutting and eye-rolling. With such madness, you wonder if April Fools’ Day was a smokescreen, and their announcement on Tuesday that Farnborough would change their kit colour to the green of the bookmaker would mean fans laugh it off.... until they walk out at the start of next season in their new threads! FC United of Manchester wanted to go even greener. “The new pitch in Moston is set to be the greenest in the UK and glow in the dark thanks to researchers at the University of Salford, who we are teaming up with to pioneer cutting-edge biotechnology involving anecic loam worms,” the Evo-Stik Premier title chaser said in a statement. Kettering Town meanwhile said they would be opening up a new chip shop – but refused to confirm if fish would be served. Reely strange! Southern League St Albans City came up with a good one. An historic groundshare with Dublin-based St Patricks. “Return flights with Ryan Air are around £100 including taxes,” an official statement read. “Fans are encouraged to book flights early to get the best deal once fixtures are released.” In fairness, they offered supporters a lift to Luton airport on matchdays! Tunbridge Wells meanwhile went the extra mile, knocking spots off some with their attempt to get feathers flying. “The majority of the first team squad are in quarantine following a bout of chicken pox,” the club's website claimed. Talk about putting your fans in a real flap!

Northern Cup

The Semi-Final draw for 2013/2014

Northern Cup is as follows:

Cuddington or Ellesmere Port

Town v Billinge Reerves

Rainford North End v Mitch FC

Games to be played on the next

mutually agreed date which is likely

to be of an evening as the bad

weather of the past winter has caused

all teams to be behind with their

League commitments and they will

be involved with League fixtures

every Saturday until the end of the season

We will be in touch with Club and League Secretaries to start making

the necessary arrangements.

The Final is arranged for Saturday 10th May

Good Luck to all Teams

Ian McDermott for Northern Cup ▪

As can be seen Billinge Reserves made it through to the semi-final of the Northern

Cup after a comfortable 3-1 victory away at local rivals Pilkington Reserves.

Goals from Rob Ablewhite, Chris Parr and Phil Burrows were enough to brush aside

Pilks as The Storks look to win the cup for the third season on the bounce.

The other teams through are Mitch FC of Skelmersdale who beat Wigan Rovers on

penalties during the week, Rainford North End who were given a bye as Barnton

Wanderers Reserves couldn't raise a team on Saturday and either Cuddington or

Ellesmere Port Town whose game on Saturday was called off because of a

waterlogged pitch.

▪

The Billinge Sunday team nicely rounded-off last weekend with a 3-2 victory over

Astley & Tyldesley.

A brace from Trevor Walsh and one from Joe H saw The Storks do the double over

Astley & Tyldesley.

Well done to Dave and all the lads.

This weekend they travel to Glenburn Sports Centre for a game against second-placed

Digmoor Reserves. Kick-off is 11am.

THE CONCISE HISTORY OF BILLINGE FOOTBALL CLUB

Billinge Football Club was founded in 1988 By Phil Middlehurst. They played then in the St Helens Combination at the Eddleston Playing Fields, Billinge. 1988-1989 to 1991-1992 Geoff Maggs was the first manager to take the reins of the newly-formed club. 1992-1993 to 1996-1997 Following Geoff Maggs' departure to pastures new, Les Pilling was installed as the club manager. 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 Billinge FC form a Reserve Team, Brian Collins is appointed First Team Manager and Les Pilling takes on the Manager's Job of the newly-created Reserve Team. 1999-2000 to 2004-2005 Manager Keith Amato, replaces Brian Collins as First Team Manager. Les Pilling continues his sterling work with the Reserve Team. Amato enjoyed success with Billinge FC bringing silverware to the club and being the first manager to take a Billinge team into the prestigious Mid-Cheshire League. 2005-2006 Paul Farrell is appointed as First Team Manager to replace Keith Amato, long time club stalwart Les Pilling is appointed as Farrell’s Assistant Manager and Colin Betts is appointed as Reserve Team Manager. 2007-2008 Ex-Wigan Athletic legend Bryan Griffiths is appointed as First Team Manager, assisted by Andrew Clough. Dave Knowles is appointed as the Reserve Team Manager. Knowles is the first Billinge manager to take a team to a Mid-Cheshire Cup Final, losing narrowly to Poynton on a penalty shootout. Following the highs of the Cup Final, various on-going issues meant that Knowles was to leave the club at the end of the season. 2008-2009 Griffiths and Clough get Billinge promoted to the top division in the Cheshire League. The club move grounds from Eddleston Fields to purpose-built facilities at Barrow Farm. Steve Dickson is appointed as Reserve Team Manager. 2009-2010 Griffiths and Clough consolidate the First Team in the Cheshire League top division and Dickson looks to re-build the Reserves with strong links into the Billinge Youth system. 2010-2011 Ex St Helens Town Manager Jimmy McBride comes out of retirement to take over the job of First Team Manager, Bryan Griffiths steps down to become assistant to McBride and Andrew Clough takes on the position of club Chairman.

High points include Neil McDermot, Gary Jones, Scott Tickle and Andy Ledger being named in the Cheshire League Inter-League Squad. Steve Dickson continues as Reserve Team Manager. At the end of the season McBride resigns after being offered his old job back at St Helens Town, McBride comes back for Andrew Clough as his Assistant Manager at Town. 2011-2012 Steve Dickson is promoted from the Reserves to the First Team, he appoints a Management Team including Adam Lowry as Head Coach, Rob Dainty as Assistant Manager and Les Pilling as Match Day Secretary. Dickson is given the task of re-building the team to have a more youthful look. A new Reserve Team Management Team is appointed with Brian Mather, Chez Tideswell and Campbell Wilson coming in with a host of new players. The First Team had a really good run of results which lead to a mid-table finish considering the disastrous start this was a great achievement, they were the first Billinge Senior Team to get to the Cheshire League's prestigious League Cup Final and the average age has been reduced to 22 years. The Reserves have equalled Dave Knowles feat of getting the Reserves to the Reserve Cup Final, they also went on to a league and cup double, beating Farnworth 3-0 in the Northern Cup Final then to be crowned as Cheshire League Reserve Division Champions. Following the Reserve Team's success at Billinge the management accepted an approach from Daten F.C and left to form Daten's first team. Billinge moved quickly to appoint Paul Oakes as the Reserve team manager, Oakes had enjoyed success with St Helens Combination Premier outfit Greenfields FC. Dave Knowles returned to the club as Assistant Manager to Oakes, with Rob Dainty taking on an advisory/youth development role, this position is temporary as Dainty will return to First Team duties. 2012-2013 Steve Dickson steered the First Team to safety in the top division while the Reserve Team, under Paul Oakes, finished a very respectable 7th. The Reserve Team became the first club to retain the Northern Cup when they beat Quarry Bank 3-1 in the final. 2013-2014 Paul Oakes and Steve Dickson take up the reins of the First Team management whilst Paul Farrell and Keith Amato are appointed Reserve Team managers. New members are added to the committee with Steve Dickson installed as chairman while the club runs a Sunday Team managed by committee member Dave Wood and playing in the South Lancs League at Barrows Farm as the club celebrates it’s silver anniversary.

FIRSTS RESERVES SUNDAY JUNIORS VILLAGE

JB Parker Cup Final

Garswood United were crowned league cup winners on Wednesday night as they beat Rylands 4-1 at Trafford FC. Garswood got a grip on the game early on, however their first clear chance didn’t come until the 21st minute when they hit Rylands on the counter attack but the low shot was collected easily by Rylands keeper Andy Moor. Rylands took the lead in the 33rd minute when James Daniels rose like a salmon and smashed a bullet header into the top

corner from a Ryan Duffy cross. Three minutes later and Garswood were back on level terms when a free kick awarded on the edge of the box was allowed to bounce for the Garswood striker to fire home from six yards. Rylands started the second half brightly and were unlucky not to take the lead again when Liam Hayes’ free kick just skimmed the head of Scott Tebb and drifted wide. On the hour mark Steve Boothman made it 2-1 for Garswood when his strike flew smoothly into the top corner giving Andy Moor in goal no chance. Just one minute later and Rylands had the chance to draw level when they were awarded a penalty but Liam Hayes blasted over the bar from the spot. Rylands reacted well and applied pressure on the Garswood defence with Kris Bell coming close and Daniels also moving well up and down the pitch. Garswood added a third in the 75th minute and despite Rylands trying their best the game was put to bed when Garswood scored a fourth in the 89th minute to celebrate a successful night of football with a 4-1 win. CONGRATULATIONS TO GARSWOOD UNITED FROM ALL AT BILLINGE FOOTBALL CLUB

A brief history of today’s visitors Barnton AFC

The club was founded in 1946 and in 1948 they

became a founder member of the Mid-Cheshire

League. They have played in that league ever since

and are one of two clubs to have been in this league

throughout its 60+ year history, the other being

Knutsford (the league was renamed the Cheshire

Association Football League in 2007). As of the

mid-2000s the club has won the league on eleven occasions, including

seven consecutive league titles between 1996–97 and 2002–03. The

pinnacle of the club’s success came with the winning of the National

League Systems Cup while representing the Mid-Cheshire League in

the inaugural competition of 2003/04, beating West Cheshire, Liverpool

Combination and South Western League opposition along the way

before defeating the Cambridgeshire County League 2-0 on their home

soil in the final. As a result of this they went on to represent England in

the UEFA Regions Cup in Slovenia and Bosnia where they won four,

drew one and lost one of their games, narrowly failing to reach the final

stages of the competition. The club has also participated in the FA Cup on two occasions (1948/49 and 1949/50) and the FA Vase on one

occasion (1985–86) failing to get past their extra preliminary round

games on each occasion.

The club has submitted an application to join the North West Counties

League for the start of the 2014–15 season.

“He’s the famous Adam Clare and he’s going to Wembley”

Billinge FC footballer Adam Clare is about to fulfil every player’s

dream.

He has won through trials involving 1,200 other hopefuls throughout

England to be selected to play in a showpiece match at Wembley

Stadium.

Adam, who is based in Merseyside and supports Manchester United,

read on BT Today that lead FA Cup sponsor Budweiser was holding

trials in association with BT Sport and was inviting England’s most

talented amateur players aged over-25 to bid for selection.

He applied and, from thousands of entries, was invited to take part in

regional trials in Lancashire before being selected as one of the 126

players for the national trials at St George’s Park, home of the England

Football team.

Under the gaze of former Tottenham and Newcastle player David

Ginola, now with BT Sport, ex-Arsenal player Ray Parlour, and former

managers Alex McLeish and Steve Clarke, Adam was selected as one

of the final 32 players.

They will be split into two squads, one managed by David Ginola and

the other by Ray Parlour, and for a full 90-minute match at Wembley on

14 April after the FA Cup semi-final weekend.

Highlights will be shown on BT Sport.

Adam, 25, said: ‘I play for Billinge in the Mid-Cheshire League so

playing at Wembley is a dream come true, but I’m going to be nervous.

‘I applied simply to get the chance to play at Wembley, but there are

going to be football scouts watching to spot talent, so if an opportunity

comes my way afterwards I’d be delighted to grab it.’

David Ginola said: “I’m really looking forward to seeing what talent is

out there and helping to mentor them through the Budweiser Open

Trials in association with BT Sport. I was lucky enough to play at the

old Wembley and it’s a truly magical experience for all footballers.”

Meanwhile Ray Parlour said: “The Budweiser Open Trials is the

opportunity every amateur footballer dreams of – a second chance. I’ve

played with some of the most gifted players ever to have graced a

football pitch, but the difference is usually the desire. I based my game

on this will to win, and will be looking for similar traits in the players

dreaming of making it all the way to Wembley.”

Meanwhile closer to home Adam’s manager, Gaz Fletcher, said ‘Adam

has been a regular down at Billinge FC for some time now, flitting

between reserve and first team football. This year was somewhat of a

slow start in terms of football for Adam, with his time and efforts being

somewhat distracted by new work commitments. But since November,

which saw Adam installed as first team left back; his focus,

determination and natural ability to play football comfortably at Mid-

Cheshire level, have impressed not only myself but many others around

the club; a club Adam holds close to his heart.

Adam is a born and bred Billinger, who is well known for his outgoing;

heart worn on the sleeve mannerism's. He is a well-respected part of

Billinge FC and the local community, and you will often find Adam

supporting local events, even if some are being run in his local boozer,

'The Billinge Arms'.

His teammates and myself would like to congratulate Adam on a

fantastic achievement in reaching this final stage, and wish him all the

very best come 14th April. We're all expecting nothing less than a final

victory. Well done and good luck Adam.

P.s. we all know the real reason Adam was selected, the FA are short on

funds and as soon as they realised Adam doesn't take showers anywhere

except back home in his folks house, it was in the final 32 for Adam!

Mummy's boy!’
