Andrew Baker's Ladies Football Team

Football Matters(42)

Kelvin West’s local park side is looking for a new manager. He sent me this photo to see if any reader would be interested in helping out. But you had better be quick as Sven will soon be out of a job.

You may recall that in last month’s edition Kelvin West made an appeal to find a new manager for his local park side. Andrew Baker was first off the blocks and he sent me a most impressive CV, which I was happy to forward to Kelvin. After a rigorous interview process Andrew was installed as the new manager and he is licking them into shape, so to speak.

The training sessions have so far been held in camera but Kelvin crept into the training ground and snapped this photo of the team practising its new “wall” to defend free kicks.

 I was hoping to bring you an update on Andrew Baker’s new role as Manager of Kelvin West’s local soccer side. However, Andrew has proved extremely difficult to contact and all I get back is messages saying that he is “tied up”, “giving one on one coaching sessions”, “the team are exercising behind closed doors” etc. As soon as I hear anything from the man himself I will pass it on.

I have eventually made contact with Andrew Baker, the new manager of Kelvin West’s local park side. He explained to me that his team had had their kit stolen whilst he was busy with them in the showers. He is now looking for a sponsor to put his name on their chests. He sent me the following photograph to elicit your sympathy and see if anybody can help his team out.

Many of you continue to be fascinated by the progress of Kelvin West’s park side, which, of course, is now under the able management of Andrew Baker. Andrew tells me that he likes to keep in touch with his players at all times and being the consummate professional that he is he has issued them all with mobile phones. He recently made a new signing and has asked her to check out the pitches ahead of forthcoming games. In the following pictures you can see his new left-winger reporting back to him from a rather over sanded surface at Wormwood Scrubs for next weekend’s match.

It turns out that Andrew Baker’s Ladies side are not just pretty faces, but they have a sense of humour as well. Visitors to the Gents toilets adjacent to the changing rooms at Gunnersbury Park will see that they have installed a mural on the wall behind the urinal. I am indebted to Kelvin West for sending me this photo although he declined to tell me which stall he used himself.

Andrew Baker has been difficult to get hold of this month as he has taken his ladies football team on a pre-season tour. Apparently they won all of their cricket matches but it means that their season is already over. However, Kelvin West, who tells me that he was at all of their games, took the following photo of the star performers. He has apparently offered to give them personal coaching at his indoor facility during the winter.
