A ringing endorsement indeed from Basingstoke.

Day job was managing our academy, part time as Manager of Basingstoke. We didn't see him at Saturday matches as he was with 'stoke. In fact, I think the only time he was with the first team on a Tuesday evening was v Orient. Now with us full time, obs.

I certainly think there have been a few cases of people working for the club's academy who at the same time were playing for other clubs. In once such instance I believe that the player scored the only goal in a game which ended any lingering hopes we had of winning the league that season.

IIRC, Guy Butters who was an assistant to Ian Baird here, when we were a part time club, was involved in the academy at Brighton & HA as his day job. I think that's how we had Steve Cook on loan. It certainly helped his career having gone on to be a centre back fixture in AFC Bournemouth's current side!!

I actually thought that Guy Butters was Assistant Manager to Richard Hill at Eastleigh not Ian Baird who had Matt Gray as his assistant for a long time.
However Guy did spend a few years at Brighton and may well have had some influence on Steve Cook joining the club.

Steve Cook did play for us well before GB was here. |
