@JimmyCully I always say the same! I remember (not knowing the laws of the game at the time as a kid) begging my dad to shout to ask the ref to let Fowler back on 🥹😂

In 2024, St Margaret's Old Boys won the Centenary Trophy. Captain Connah and vice-captain Jake didn't lift the cup alone. They invited Reg up with them.

Reg had been part of the club since almost the beginning. Welfare, first aid, everything in between. That season, he was seriously ill. But he gave everything to be at as many games as he could. Unfortunately, Reg passed away last year.

"I know that was such a proud moment for him. A culmination of so many years of effort," says @gregmclean92, who founded the club with his dad.

Greg has worn more hats in grassroots football than almost anyone. Player, referee, club founder, league secretary, @Cheshire_FA deputy CEO, now CEO of @isfafootball overseeing 360+ schools and 100,000 young players.

But when you ask him what it all comes back to, it's never the job titles. It's the people. A dad who managed the team. A volunteer who never missed a game. A group of teammates who texted back "absolutely made up for you" when he came out.

Grassroots football doesn't work without those relationships. We sat down with Greg on The Grassroots Hotline to hear the full story.

@JimmyCully 100%! Still watch it on YouTube to this day - I was only 8/9 during that season but managed to get to the League & FA Cup Finals with my dad! Will never forget that season ❤️🙌

@TheAnfieldWrap An incredible Manager, who as a club we still need to honour at the stadium, as his passing was in Covid.

He was the man who got us back on track and gave us some incredible memories, most of all the cup finals in 2001 when I was only 9 ❤️

Thank you, Gérard. YNWA

That has to be up there as one of the single best pieces of television there has been. Thank you Ruth Jones & James Corden; an incredible script that gave such a worthy end to a superb programme - laughter & tears in equal measure.

What a way to finish #GavinAndStacey ❤️🥺
