Fantastic to see @Ebenno88 600th league appearance today at STFC. I’ve had the privilege of coaching him at a young age and watching him turn into an excellent player, pro and more importantly person. 👏👏👏👏

This is 1st class & says so much about the modern game. 20+ yrs ago as I transitioned from playing, lots of pro’s were cynical of coaching courses-I’d of said rightly so. Nowadays, I rarely hear negatives. Jim Hicks, Jamie Robinson & many others deserve huge credit ⚽️❤️👏

In 1992, as 8 & 9 year olds, we were told we would never make it as footballers or in the game! 2022: @Zesh_Rehman has clocked 500 career games, obtained his UEFA Pro License & now the first/only south Asian to be working full-time as an u18 lead coach at a pro club!
