Pete's role at Oldham Athletic FC enabled him to bring another level of professionalism to Amputee football. Pete served as GB head coach for 4 years and has now stepped back to take a more hands off approach, advising the charity and lending his wealth of experience to the EAFA coaches.

Dave has been with EAFA since 2001. Over this time he has helped many people get involved in the game and add an extra dimension to their lives.
