I have still not come to terms with your passing and don’t believe I ever will. You were a major character about the club and had a massive effect on me as a player. You were more than just a coach we seen you as a friend, always smiling and laughing, I have never had a negative encounter with James. coming off the pitch and meeting you at the gate, win or lose you knew how to keep my head high and you will be missed greatly by me and everyone else at the club. 

thank you for everything I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you.
