Football, Neil<br />
Richards:<br />
It's been my pleasure to watch Jonny's development at <strong>Ascot</strong> United since he was a Junior player at U13's.<br />
He was part of a very successful squad that also produced a number of other future men's players such as Ross<br />
Seldon <strong>and</strong> Rory Knibbs. The squad was led by Steve Chell <strong>and</strong> over the years they not only won many honours at<br />
<strong>Ascot</strong> Utd. but also represented the club in the Gothia Youth World cup. I was lucky enough to then coach Jonny<br />
when he became a key member of our Allied Counties U18's squad. His commitment <strong>and</strong> professionalism even<br />
then was second to none. Then followed a successful stint in the USA both playing <strong>and</strong> studying before returning<br />
back to the UK <strong>and</strong> to <strong>Ascot</strong> United. Now we achieve an amazing milestone for JD, 200 senior appearances for the<br />
YELLAMEN, he is an inspiration to our young players both on <strong>and</strong> off the field. His talent is without question but the<br />
respect he has from fellow players <strong>and</strong> the wider local football community is huge <strong>and</strong> fully deserved. It's been a<br />
pleasure JD <strong>and</strong> here's to many more !!<br />
Former manager, Steve Chell:<br />
Pictures: Above <strong>and</strong> below in youth team days, although he was<br />
too easily dispossessed of his ice-cream for my liking!!!<br />
We’ll who’d have thought when you joined us at U13s you’d still be going strong 14 years later. The sole survivor<br />
from one of the most successful junior boys teams <strong>Ascot</strong> have had.<br />
A great lad as well as a great footballer with a w<strong>and</strong> of a left foot whom it was an absolute please to coach, manage<br />
& see develop <strong>and</strong> grow as both a footballer & a fabulous person.<br />
Good luck with your 200th game today & here’s to 200 more.
