Personal History

I have always had a real passion for football and through my childhood sport played a big role in my development as a person. I was involved at Chelsea as a schoolboy, apprentice and 1st year professional so I have had a bit of experience into the elite areas of sport.

I developed Wrightchoice because I feel that sport can play a serious part in the holistic development of the children in our community. We started this organisation with one U9’s team and the fact that we have started this season with 11 teams as well as our community projects shows the progressive nature of this organisation.

I am extremely committed to the work of the charity and I am looking forward to see us grow to affect the lives of more and more children and young people in the future.
