Graham Pearson
A real pleasure to write on Chris's behalf. I've known Chris since I taught him at Eggbuckland Community College and he demonstrated early on, a passion for sport that he has taken with him into his career with the FA. I have enjoyed huge support from Chris over the years. He has provided guidance when we have been looking to secure improvements to our facilities and has monitored and provided advice on the development of the College's Community Steering Group. Most importantly, we have undergone some crucial changes recently to the structure of our Community Football Clubs' involvement with the College. This has necessitated some sensitive handling of the parties concerned and Chris's help in this matter has proven to be invaluable. Chris is destined to go far in the management structure of the FA and he deserves every success. Graham Pearson Community Advocate Eggbuckland Community College
