I began working with Mike back in 2003 when I was appointed as the England Non-League Manager. He was passionate about the team, its progress and future. Mike developed a highly competitive European Cup that saw our Non League players lock horns with elite professional players. Whilst keeping an eye on the European competition Mike formed links across the globe resulting in our players travelling across continents for competitive fixtures and performing community activities. Everything that Mike did was carried out in a calm and professional manner. A great loss. Mike will be missed by all who knew him.
