The Team

Michael Graham
FA Level 2 Coach
FOOTBALL HISTORY
Played for Barnet & Stevenage Academy. Unfortunately did not get offered a professional contract so I made the transition to semi professional football, playing from the age 17 to present.
Teams I have played for include St Albans City FC, Cheshunt FC, Potters Bar Town FC, Takeley FC, Broxbourne FC, Ilford FC and currently for Fisher FC in the SCEFL, Premier Division.
I’ve also played in the International Dana Cup (in Denmark) twice with ProTouch Academy, first time finishing 3rd out of 128 teams from teams all around the world. I’ve also coached and managed a team with Just Play FC at the Dana Cup and Iber Cup (Denmark).
The reason why I coach is because football has always been my main passion. I love to set a pathway for players to believe in themselves that they can do well, teach them to be young leaders and to learn about respect. To set them up for life on and off the pitch. I want to create as much good memories as possible for the players at MGA that will always stay with them.

FA Level 1 Coach
FOOTBALL HISTORY
Played for Parla Escuela (Spain), West Ham foundation, Charlton Athletic’s college level, Bishops Stortford U23s and currently playing for Merstham FC first team in Bostik Premier. I have been playing from age 7 years old to present.
The reason why I coach is because my passion to football has dragged me to the coaching pathway where I started from the age 15 to present. During this time, I can say I have been the role model of many a player not just children but also to my teammates.
My aim in football is to help players on and off the field, to be a great person, as great as they on the field.
