I have been involved with local football for more years than I care to remember. I suppose my interest stems from my first job as a local reporter covering Lowestoft Town in the then Eastern Counties League in the early 1970s. Subsequent journalistic moves saw me cover the fortunes of Sheringham Town, Cromer Town, Beccles, Wymondham Town and Hethersett Athletic to name but a few. I have also, in the line of my work, reported on Chesterfield, Nottingham Forest and Norwich City for a variety of radio stations and newspapers. My involvement with football shows no sign of diminishing. I am currently chair of Hethersett Athletic and a member of the Norwich City Supporters Consultative Group. Recently I was looking through some old local football programmes and came across an article written for Wymondham Town which I think still sums up the appeal of local football.
