Our strong emphasis on junior and youth development has also seen players sign for Nottingham Forest, Notts County, Derby County, Leicester City and Sheffield United in recent years. David Riley and Mick Waitt also signed from Keyworth United and played professionally for Nottingham Forest & Notts County respectively. Mick has since gone on to coach at International level.
A number of ex-professional footballers have also donned the green shirt, Sammy Chapman, John Galley and Brian Stubbs played here and Frank Wignall managed the first team for a while. Towards the end of 2001 we became a development centre for Leicester City Football Club thus increasing our emphasis on developing young players and we appointed a Youth Development Officer.
We have since become a development centre for Derby County and were one of the first clubs in England to be awarded with the prestigious Community Club Status.
Apologies for the delay in getting the site back up & running, the fault was caused by our service provider & not helped by their lack of technical support. Headless & chickens (apart from the running around bit) come to mind but we should be back in full order now.
