Very proud single father to 4 of the best, UEFA A. Joint manager Hayes & Yeading Utd, formerly Kingstonian ,Wingate & Finchley,Maidenhead Utd, Naxxar Lions ⚒🍒
Delighted and Proud to be given the honour of managing this wonderful club. Will work night and day to provide this unique supporter base with something to cheer over the long term. Up for this huge challenge. Thank you for all the messages already 🙏🏻
I’ve taken the very difficult decision to step down as manager
@westfield_fc
I have put my heart&soul into rebuilding the playing side of club fm scratch, making many sacrifices but a huge new challenge awaits me. So many special people there 2 thank. It will always be in my ❤️
Note to non league players from a Gaffers pov. It’s great to be in demand but if you’re flip flopping multiple clubs then please know gaffers need some commitment too. It’s a 2 ➡️⬅️street boys. I plan EVERYTHING,this can mean sometimes we’ll just go find someone else to work with
I want to thank everyone that has supported me, the staff & players.Absolutely delighted 4 the supporters who’ve been present, the ones who support us from afar, all the guys who work behind the scenes . People said I was crazy 2 take on this challenge but I always believed 🇦🇹
Kingstonian are STAYING UP!
Our 14-year spell in the
@IsthmianLeague
Premier Division continues into 2023/24.
Very little to celebrate this season, but we can at least enjoy this moment. Credit to
@lane850
and his players for getting us over the line!
❤️❤️❤️
In February 3 points are 3 points. But this was a huge win given the effort shown, the quality of the play and the resilience to respond twice from a team thrown together. High point for me was seeing the joy on
@KingstonianFC
fans faces. Makes all the hard work worthwhile
So happy for the players who have worked their socks off against three top teams. We haven’t got everything we deserved but our resilience was there for all to see & got our rewards today . The toughest possible start to a season, hopefully we can kick on now with this new group
Thank you to everyone for their support and
@IsthmianLeague
for the recognition for the club.
Clearly this award is not for me but for all the players and staff plus all the key people who work so hard at our little club. 🙏🏻
Thank you to our hosts. No one can say
@CorinthianCas
rolled over after getting relegated. Far from it! It was a full bloodied encounter. Fair play to my boys for standing up to be counted today when we needed it. 🙏🏻🇦🇹❤️
Very proud of the boys today old and new. Resilience is not something that’s usually natural to young footballers today but they showed it in abundance. Nowhere near done yet but loving the turnaround so far. Plenty more to come. Thx for all your support, really appreciated 🙏🏻🇦🇹
So pleased for everyone at this club. The players deserve all the credit for working so hard for this club. Well done fellas 🟡⚫️

#UpTheField
Narrow loss today , went toe to toe
@BTFC
who will undoubtedly be up there in the shake up. Proud of my new teams work and quality. Just need to finish those chances and we’ll be on to something. Fitness was excellent. Support was fantastic as usual 🙌🏻🇦🇹
Nothing but respect for my players 2day. Poor conditions, 💨 disrupted game - officials injury, really difficult opponents, going 1 down. The group still learning about each other worked their socks off 4 this club
@KingstonianFC
and myself. Could have had a more but deserved it
Very pleasing performance and result again. Boys showed some resilience when required at times in the 2nd half. That performance had a bit of everything but the application of my boys was top drawer. Delighted for the noisy travelling faithful ❤️🇦🇹
Now we’re done, I would like 2 wish all the supporters, volunteers players & staff a great summer & a well earned rest. I’ll have a 📱 stuck 2 my👂 for the next 7 weeks rebuilding but thx 2 everyone for the support I’ve had. I’m proud we reached safety and our 1st objective 4 you
A few days on just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has messaged, tweeted, called etc, truly humbled by the love and respect shown from players, fans, officials , managers and coaches from other clubs as well as the K’s people. ❤️ Big love to the football family
So proud of all at the club today. The players for their workload and sticking so closely to the plan and everyone behind the scenes working so hard to gradually take this club forward. Happy manager tonight 🙏🏻🟡⚫️
An emphatic and commanding opening day victory (we’ve never lost 1st game of the season at this level) thank you to
@LeatherheadFC
for wonderful hospitality and we will see you in January at ours
Honestly we made that more difficult than it needed to be. Got 2 bury those clear chances. Having said that this young group is getting stronger by the day, if they keep sticking to the plans we’ll have more successful Saturdays. K’s fans that made the long journey, 🎩 off 2 u ❤️
Another huge win for K's! A brilliantly worked goal finished off by Keane Anderson just before the break proved the difference as we battled hard to secure a second consecutive 1-0 win against a relegation rival!
10 points from the last 12 available. Well done lads! 👏
🔴⚪🔴⚪
Delighted with the application and quality from our boys today against another good team. Asked them for reaction and they certainly provided that in good style. Happy gaffer tonight 🇦🇹
Very happy with the contribution of the whole squad tonight against a good team. Pleased for them . Good responses after being pegged back each time. Bodes well 🇦🇹
Happy to give all
@NorthwoodFC
a good xmas feeling with a super win today over a top 6 side. 17 year old captain leading a squad with only 5 players over 22.

Have to say the respect levels amongst the gaffers in the current
@IsthmianLeague
Premier is by far the best I’ve experienced from any in my time within any other league. All good guys. Thank you Gents and good luck for the rest of the season 🙏🏻
On behalf of all the staff and players , I would like to wish all
@westfield_fc
, committee, volunteers, supporters a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year. We may be small in number but work done by everyone at the club does not go unnoticed, we are so grateful for it.
We've seen the improvement on the pitch since
@lane850
arrived, but not the results. Today was the reward for his relentless hard work. The players have responded to him, and now we have three Cup Finals coming up against teams around us. COYKs, feeling proud of you again
Good feeling waking up this morning after my boys
@EghamTown
put in a shift like that against a very good
@HayesandYeading
side. Proud that we’ve beaten arguably the two biggest clubs in this league now back to back.
#sarnies
#moretocome
Always nice to have a two win weekend.
@EghamTown
off and running in the league. Good value for it today must sharpen up the finishing. We showed another side to us today, determination to get the result was on point.
#SARNIES
Delighted for my young guys
@westfield_fc
today. Very comprehensive performance against the league leaders and with improved finishing could have been at least a couple more. Learning all the time at this level with great attitudes and honesty. Very proud gaffer tonight. 🟡⚫️
Just landed after a long day. Will answer all the amazing messages as soon as I can. Thank you so much. I’ve not been this popular since we beat Marlow. 👍🏻
It’s not the first day for us
@IsthmianLeague
Prem but want wish luck to all the fellow Gaffers & Coaches about to tread the high wire of glory & pain of a new season.
@TheVanaramaNL
@SouthernLeague1
@NorthernPremLge
Be good to each other, show respect. We’re all in it together
So proud of our boys tonight held our own for over 70 minutes against a strong
@wokingfc
squad full of full time professionals. Great application and quality from those boys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🟡⚫️
Outstanding effort from the lads with late goals perhaps giving the score line a a more emphatic reflection. Thank you to our friends
@wokingfc
and good luck for the rest of the season.
Thank you to all our friends
@HYUFC_Official
for hosting us
@KingstonianFC
. A really good test for us against a top team who will go very close this year. Very pleased with my new squad’s work tonight. 🙏🏻🇦🇹
Gutting way to lose with a break of the ball after playing so well to come back and dominate the second half. I’m certain this group has the character to finish the job . We prepare well and head towards the next one at home
@KingstonianFC
On behalf of the players and staff I’d like you to wish everyone connected with
@KingstonianFC
a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thank you to all the supporters, volunteers and all the people that work for this special club for your support this year. Up the K’s.
Great news the skip is not too damaged. Missed him.3 mistakes punished by the visitors
@NorthwoodFC
who are clearly a team on the up and good luck to them. For some of our boys , they must strive to be more consistent game to game after a really good performance at the weekend
All the best to skipper
@Lukeyells
who went off to hospital with a nasty dislocation this evening. We wish a speedy recovery and looking forward to your return ❤️
Want to thank the
@KingstonianFC
@KingstonianSC
supporters last night for their amazing support. Very much appreciated. I promise things will become a bit clearer for you shortly.
Want to thank all
@OfficialTmufc
for the visit today. Wish Ashley and Cornelius all the very best for the season. Very pleased with my boys
@westfield_fc
who stuck to the plan religiously 👍🏻🟡⚫️
Really good session last night with
@EghamTown
boys. Built many squads over the seasons and it’s good to see this one coming together as a family. Harmony good right now, of course winning a few matches helps 😉
#sarniesonaroll
Good seeing so many Gaffer mates at the
@IsthmianLeague
managers meeting in Aveley. Some changes to participants behaviour needed this season or it’ll be costly for some. The sentiment of cleaning up the games image is right but a tricky time ahead with officials interpretation
For those who’ve asked -looks like due to my work locations I’m not going to be able to take a manager’s job until probably the end of the season. I’ll continue to watch players, do my research to get ready + my courses and enjoy my precious family time for now.
@NLeagueToday
Very positive meeting last night with
@EghamTown
chairman and directors. It’s nice to be wanted! 😀 further good news , important defensive signing confirmed. Phone stuck to my ear now for next few months signing players and staff for this rebuild
#norest
#sarnies
Pleased for
@Andysomo9
with the 3. You have a home now. 🇦🇹Some low standard finishing from us made the game “interesting “ at times when it really shouldn’t have been but the objective achieved was to get into the next round, so looking forward to that in a couple of weeks.
Goodbye 2022. Undoubtedly the hardest I’ve ever known and I’m not out of the woods yet. Plenty more challenges to come for sure. BUT, wouldn’t have been able to get this far and be ready to attack 23 without the love & support of those closest to me ❤️ All about my children now
𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬
We're expecting another bumper crowd tomorrow afternoon.
To avoid queues please 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 so you are inside Champion Hill for kick off.
Please 𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗜𝗗 bringing bags to help speed up entry times into Champion Hill.

Proud of our guys today. Long day still not over but worked incredibly hard and showed resilience when the questions were asked
@GuernseyFC
. Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality 🙏🏻🟡⚫️
This is sent with love and understanding as I know how difficult it can feel for you to decide but there might be a chance all the gaffers involved feel the same way and you’ll lose all your opportunities. Have a great season all ❤️👍🏻
So proud of my players
@westfield_fc
today. Wonderful second half performance in very difficult circumstances. Actually disappointed we couldn’t turn the chances in to 3 points.,again…
Tough day at the office for us against an excellent
@HorshamFC
side. Weirdly we had more chances but our visitors were ruthless in punishing any mistakes we made. Onto the next with lessons to learn. Thank you to all the k’s fans for their support
Another draw! A very good performance for a deserved point. Resilience shown from these young guys and could have had another couple of goals. Pleased for one our 17 year olds Jacob Breckon for his expert finish. On to the next
Very happy with a solid and hard working display from our guys. Game played in a good spirit like the one away and am certain
@GuernseyFC
will pull away from the bottom very soon. All the best for the rest of the season
Just another word for the
@GuernseyFC
players and management who visited today. You have made our notoriously grumpy barman very happy with your friendliness and gratitude and good luck for the rest of the season. We look forward to meeting again in the near future.
I like what they’re up to at
@BylineTV
Really enjoyed recording The Table tonight, hosted by
@MarinaPurkiss
, one of my Twitter idols and all round superstar. 🤩
@kingstonroadend
I don’t admitting it was a gamble to come and it’s been tough. But, I don’t regret it for a single second and I won’t rest until I take this club as far as I possibly can. First, safety. Thank you for your support 🙏🏻🇦🇹
What a brave and effective performance from
@KingstonianFC
today. Superb counter attacking tactics from
@lane850
. Over the moon to be into the next round…never write off K’s in the FA Trophy. It’s literally got our name on it! (Twice)
Upon reflection not comfortable losing any game but
@EghamTown
lads gave everything yesterday on a mud bath. Undone by two well executed sets in 4 minutes otherwise more than matched a very good side. Existing players and all the new ones a credit to the shirt
#sarnies
Very pleased with our levels today . Deservedly came away with something and credit to whole team for the way we responded to two setbacks. Has to be the youngest defensive line for many a year for
@KingstonianFC
. On to the next one. Thanks for great support K’s
Happy Xmas to all the tweeps out there. A strange one this year. Shout out to my Dad Alan in hospital in Gloucester 🙏🏻 I’m isolating at home whilst hearing the kids play with presents downstairs .Just weird. Love to all
@westfield_fc
too. Plenty of Time to think of others today
One defeat in 6 might be cause for cartwheels for some. For me it’s just a good solid base for the future. Having said that these
@EghamTown
boys of beaten or taken points from 3 of the top 5 in this period so all bodes well
#sarnies
Delighted for the players and all
@westfield_fc
today. Our young boys battled extremely well again and got our just rewards. A well deserved clean sheet against an in form side was just what was required today. On to next week 👍🏻🟡⚫️
I have loved my time at
@KingstonianFC
A fantastic football club with brilliant people involved. I can’t thank
@lane850
enough alongside the management/players and all connected for making my short time so enjoyable. I really wish them all the best.
Delighted with my team
@EghamTown
application of the game plan today. Every single man gave everything against a Top Top team
@AFCRD
unbeaten in TWENTY games. Still lots to correct but place was rocking and hopefully confidence can be gained now.
#SARNIES
Huss, what a career you’ve had. So proud to have played a tiny tiny part in it when you were a wee young man. I’ll never forget that late night call when you signed your contract at Coventry, thanking me. One of the reasons I do this job .That was special mate. 🙏🏻
