Former SESL Coaches

(Updated Oct 2025):
James Bucknall:  First of all I would like to thank commish Mark for allowing me to join and to my old man Craig for introducing me to the game.
Dad Craig managed COV in sesl previously, and a few other teams maybe.

I’m 22 years old and live in Beverley which is a town near Hull. I have finally moved out of my family home earlier this year which seemed like a lifetime, not that it was a problem as it was ace but through one reason or another it took longer than expected to find a house that suited. Moving onto the now me and my partner Charlotte have been living in our house for 6 months which is absolutely great! We funnily met whilst Charlotte was a student on the ward that I worked on and 3 years on I’m still putting up with her ;).
We’ve finally been accepted for IVF which is due to start in 3 months time and we bought a miniature dachshund called Rupert about a week into moving so a very positive year so far.

Onto my job, I’m a Healthcare Assistant in a mental health inpatient hospital for the NHS and have been doing so for the past 4 years. Prior to that I worked in a private residential home for 2 years. The job itself can be very difficult at times, weather that be due to patients or the long hours. It does come with its perks though as it can be very rewarding and it helps that I enjoy going into work.

I’m not new to football manager games but this type of game is new.
In the past I have played ESMS games on and off but since November 2024 I committed to playing it properly and currently play in FFO & OFMC.
My love for football manager games came from my old man Craig where he introduced me to Championship Manager 01/02 which is still play to this day!
I have great memories with Champ Man as every weekend me and my dad used to sit next to each other clicking away whilst watching the football.

Dan Roseblade: I live in Prestwick and work in Troon as a lifeguard.

I play for Kaisayr, the Ayr United supporters team, after winning the double last season with two cups still to be played,
and now with COVID forgotten about it allowed us to start playing
and going to Ayr United games under Scott Brown. 

I used to manage Dallas and Texas Dutch Lions on OASL.

David King: Lives in Glasgow with girlfriend of five years.
SESL experience previously at HAM for 5 seasons (S19-23).  PT (S50-51)

My name's David, obviously, I'm 51, look 31, act about 13.
I'm one of quite a number of managers here from the UK. I still don't know who's from where tbh, I really need to go check the other Bios of my manager colleagues.

I live in Glasgow with my GF who moved in with me late November 2020. She'd basically been staying here since March 20 when covid hit and we still hadn't shed any blood by September so we decided it was safe to live together.
We've had one year of normal life getting to know each other 2019 BC - Before Covid then the trial by fire of 15 months of covid lockdown.

Both of us looking forward to actually getting out and about and doing the family/social/pubs/clubs part of being a couple.
For those that know Glasgow and who know me, this means actually going to Rufus, Solid Rock and The Cathouse. <-Rock venues of variable quality.
If she survives those then she's a keeper.  Not a goal keeper.

James White:  44 years old still married (somehow) with 3 boys (almost men now) stayed in Glasgow all my life.

Been playing this game for far too long but sese of loyalty (stupity) won't allow me to let go really just go through the motions these day hence my move away from Rangers hopefully to someone who can guide them to success.

If anyone has supported and wants to manage Dunfermline let me know and I'll happily team swap.
