Earlswood Town have appointed media and communications specialist and career journalist Andy Walker as their new chairman.
The 39-year-old takes up the role ahead of the new Midland Football League Division Two season and succeeds Keith Green who stepped down in May 2021.
Since 2014, he has been the England men’s national football team’s senior communications manager and was recently a member of Gareth Southgate’s backroom staff at UEFA Euro 2020, his fourth major tournament in the role.   
Walker (pictured below) was previously head of media and communications at Birmingham City having started his career as a sports journalist with several regional newspaper titles. 
As a fledgling journalist he edited Solihull Borough's programme and as Solihull Moors, he worked as a voluntary consultant in 2015 to help aid their promotion to the National League.
The new chairman said: “I would like to thank the committee of Earlswood Town for offering me this opportunity.
"It’s an honour to be asked to take on a leadership role with a football club from within my local community and I hope to bring fresh perspective.
“From initial meetings, it’s clear that this club is fortunate to have an incredibly driven manager at the helm backed by a dedicated committee so I look forward to being a part of an exciting and progressive future."
​Manager Tom Reynolds added: “This appointment is an exciting time for the club. To have someone of Andy’s knowledge, experience and capabilities can only benefit us. "

TIVIDALE FC Sports Therapist Gavin Blackwell was interviewed on BBC Tees yesterday (Tuesday) to tell the tale of one of his mentors in the field.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Jimmy Headrige, who first joined Middlesbrough as a trainer and physio in 1966 after his playing career in Scotland ended through injury.
Jimmy started work with physio George Wright and club doctor and vice chairman Dr Neil Phillips and quickly went on all the courses he could to gain knowledge of his profession.
With income gained from hosting a World Cup 1966 game, Middlesbrough expanded their medical facilities and team, and Jimmy eventually became influential in helping to transform the treatment of injuries and rehabilitation not only at Middlesbrough but throughout the game.
The Scot went on to work in the United Arab Emirates and for Bolton Wanderers where he was credited for saving the career of Peter Reid, who paid an emotional tribute when receiving the PFA Player of the year award  in 1985.
He was then head hunted to work for Ron Atkinson at Manchester United in 1981 when he got the manager's job. Sadly just weeks before the start of the new season, Jimmy collapsed from a heart attack on the training ground and died. He was just 42.
Gavin, who is writing a book on his 35 years working in professional and semi-professional football in the West Midlands, spoke to BBC Tees mid morning presenter Gary Philipson about Jimmy's life and career, particularly his work at Middlesbrough.
He said: "A lot of the listeners or even 'Boro fans in general may not know the name Jimmy Headrige, or his story, with physios often being the unsung heroes of the backroom staff.
"Jimmy, and Fred Street at Arsenal and England, changed the thinking about the way players trained, came back from injury, their diet, their physiotherapy routines, almost everything about the physical side of a footballer.
"I would go as far as to say they were the forerunners for some of the methods and theory that make up what is now known as medical and sports science and if Jimmy had lived, I feel sure he would have gone on to work in international football for a long time."

WORCESTER CITY have announced a deal with Christ Withington to stay at Claines Lane for the 2021-22 season.
The midfielder (pictured below) has been with the club for the last three seasons, clocking up 72 appearances with four goals.
Tonight's friendlies (kick off times where known).
AFC COVENTRY RANGERS v COVENTRY COPSEWOOD; BOLEHALL SWIFTS v LEAMINGTON HIBERNIAN; DUDLEY TOWN v LYE TOWN; HEATH HAYES v Sporting Khalsa 7:45pm; Sutton Coldfield Town v Romulus 7.45pm; Wellington Amateurs v SHAWBURY UNITED 7.45pm; Westfields v BEWDLEY TOWN 7.30pm; RACING CLUB WARWICK v Earlswood Town; BOLDMERE ST MICHAELS v COTON GREEN; BILSTON TOWN COMMUNITY v AFC Telford XI.

TRIBUTES were paid at Wednesfield on Saturday to club legend and stalwart of the Wolverhampton football scene Robert Morris.
The friendly game with Shifnal was dedicated to Morris - affectionately known as Moggsy - who was general manager at Wednesfield at the time of his death in November 2020, aged just 62.
The father of two (pictured below) had also previously managed the team at Wednesfield and had spells at Great Wyrley and Darlaston FC, as well as being heavily involved in Sunday football in the area.
Wednesfield had originally planned to offically name their main stand at Amos Lane after him at the West Midlands League fixture with Shifnal over Christmas, but the game was postponed and then the season curtailed altogether.
So they arranged a friendly against the same opposition and unveiled the plaque on the stand before the game (action pic below). Members of  the organising committee of the JW Hunt charity cup also donated a framed shirt to mark Moggsy's seven appearances as manager of teams in the final of the competition, traditionally played at Molineux.
Secretary of Wednesfield Kevin Hyde, who is also on the JW Hunt cup committee, said Robert loved football and dedicated a large part of his life to the game, particularly in the Wolverhampton area.
He said: "It was a great occasion on Saturday and gave the many people, family and friends who were shocked at his death the chance to pay tribute in a fitting way.
"The original game was postponed due to the weather and then both clubs moved leagues so it was good we could re-arrange the fixture as a friendly at the earliest opportunity and finally mark Robert' service to the club and the game."
*Wednesfield have arranged a home friendly with Hampton FC for Wednesday night, admission £5 adults and £3 concessions and kick off 7.45pm.

LEWIS Mitchell has become the second defender in recent days to commit his immediate future to division one new boys Dudley Town.

Left-back Jeevan Purewal, striker Callum Cottee and midfielder Leo Gill will all play their part as manager Dean Gill targets promotion to the premier division of the Midland Football League.
Of the three he said: “Jeevan has the potential to be truly outstanding.
“He’s only 17 and entering his second season with me. We are expecting him to play a massive part this season and at such a young age he is already regarded as a first-team player.
"Callum came with me from Bilston, and at 17 he has all the ability to develop into a top player. His attitude is spot-on, he is fit and always gives 100 per-cent in everything he does.
"Leo scored two goals back-to-back against Stafford and Paget in May but at 16 it’s about training, watching and learning,” said Gill.
He added: “He will be a player in years to come so it makes perfect sense to have him in and around things already, he is already benefiting from the experience so far."
All three may be in action tomorrow (Saturday) when Town entertain Willenhall Town  at the Paycare Ground (3pm).
