​Season 56

Wow, what a season that was. After a very ordinary start we fought our way up to around 7th place for most of the last two-thirds of the season. It wasn't until the very last game that we managed to get into 4th place, a result that gave us the over-achievers and  manager of the season awards. The Accounts went pretty OK - we start this season with about 1200k more than last, but this is partly down to selling 10 TP for 800k, rather than using them on an apprentice costing an extra 300k. We did buy Jerry Armstrong for 600k but he secured promotion for us. Although we start much richer 1000k is going to be spent on a Bosman from Deveronvale. We start 12th= in T11 (pre-Bosman signings)  and last in T17 so it's going to be a struggle to do what Alloa have never done: stay in Division One for more than one season.

Season 55

Well last season turned out disappointing. At one point it looked like we could push for a play off spot but it never happened as we slipped back to mid-table. As I type (after two games) we are 10th in T11 and 12th in T17. We have hardly any cash as I spent it all on CP rather than paying over 100k in auctions. If we're going to get anywhere I need to participate more often, not just for the cash, but also to keep me interested. I find that if I don't participate, I lose interest and just go through the motions.​

Season 54

It took 5 seasons but we're finally in Division 2. The side is in decent shape near the middle in T11 and T17.  Financially the season was a success, finishing with over 3000k. The only downside is towards the end of the season we had some bad luck and I couldn't fully TP my apprentice GK.

Season 49

New Manager and I hope to turn around Alloa's SESL performance. Alloa have been in division 3 for 18 of the last 19 seasons and only made it to division 1 once, only to be relegated immediately. In the Cups they've had some success of late, quarter final of the Cecil in season  45 and also the quarter final of the SESL Cup in season 46, We start the season 11th=  in T11 and  14th in T17 but a decent amount of cash compared to some others. I have some difficult decisions to make: the age 1 are fine, as is keeper, Parry, at 2/23 but the other age 2 are never going to be stars. I might spend half my CP on OTF.

Season 56: Eigth season as manager of Alloa after 16 seasons at Deveronvale. And we're in Division One.

Married to Elaine for 8 and a half years with an 18 year old (step) teenage daughter and Jacob who is nearly 8. I'm 65 but don't feel anywhere like near to retiring. Apart from work and family, I spend my spare time mostly on the phone playing these games and every now and then try to find more on my ancestors. Other gaming is mainly Fortnite with Jacob. He made me so proud the other day when he came home with a certificate from school from the headmaster: "Certificate awarded for always being ready to learn and always striving to achieve his best, even when he finds a task challenging. He always listens attentively and is quick to grasp new learning, particularly in maths. As well, Jacob is always happy to support others and can be relied upon to carry out any helpful jobs that make the classroom a better working environment. Jacob is popular with his peers, because he knows how to be a good friend and he is polite and respectful to the adults he works with too."

I live in a little known town called Ilkeston (the 3rd or 4th biggest town/city in Derbyshire). The Borough of Ilkeston was swallowed up into the larger Borough of Erewash where I've lived all but the first few months of my life. Erewash itself is a pretty nice place with lots of green space. I'd known for a long time that my mum's mum's maiden name was Disney and eventually, with somebody else starting me off, found a lot of my ancestors going back to my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather Samuel Disney who was born in the 17th Century. One day I will visit Norton Disney where it all began.

I've managed several teams in the past: Beleriand in PSFA, Inverness and Deveronvale previously in SESL, Nottingham Forest in SaSo, Asteria Kromatos in MSWL and New England/Fall River in OASL where I'm back again with Dave Dowson's old team, Beleriand previously in SFLSL and A.C Sapone now,. I have a couple of teams in Al Sellers' United leagues (Ilkeston and Forest, my league team) . I am also in his and Max's Volleyball league which I'm loving. In fact TMVL takes up over 70% of my time in these games
