OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

I‘D LOVE TO START BY TELLING YOU ALL A BIT ABOUT THE MAN...THE MYTH..THE LEGEND. HOWEVER, MOST OF THAT IS A CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET. SO WHAT DO WE KNOW. ON HIS DEBUT ON BBC ESSEX SPORT RADIO HE BECOME A FORTUNE TELLER PREDICTING WE WOULD BE AT HOME IN THE SEMI FINAL. HE ONLY PAYS IN CASH AND HE IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST PASSIONATE MEN TO BE INVOLVED IN SHENFIELD (AS HE WOULD SAY) A F F‘ING C!

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

KEVS FIRST TROPHY WITH SHENFIELD WAS THE DIV 1 CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE 18/19 SEASON. THIS SEASON CONSISTED OF AN UNBEATEN RUN AND 8 WINS ON THE BOUNCE. WINNING THE LEAGUE BY 1 POINT AND SEEING THE CLUB GAIN PROMOTION TO THE EOFL PREM

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

BUT HEY...DONT JUST TAKE IT FROM ME. HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THE LADS SAID ABOUT HIM. KEV I‘LL LEAVE IT TO YOU TO GUESS WHO SAID WHAT!!!

SMALLEST MAN, MEDIUM BELLY, BIGGEST VOICE IN THE DUGOUT. WHO ELSE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT SCREECHING FOR A FREEKICK OR OFFSIDE EVERYTIME THE BALL GETS KICKED?? WIN, LOSE OR DRAW… KEV’S ALWAYS HAPPY TO BUY A BEER SATURDAY PM KEV IS ONE OF A KIND. HIGH ENERGY, INTENSE AND ONE OF THE MOST LOYAL PEOPLE I KNOW. THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT I COULD PAY HIM IS THAT HIS TEAM WOULD RUN THROUGH - “HORRIBLE C***S FC” A BRICK WALL FOR HIM. CAN BE A HORRIBLE C THO! - I LOVE HOW MUCH OF A HARD TIME HE GIVES THE REFS AND LINOS EACH GAME FOR THE MOST POINTLESS SHIT

😂😂😂

AS KEV WOULD SAY YOU ARE ALL C***S, BUT YOU ARE MY C***S. WELL LET ME TELL YOU THE FEELING IS DEFINITELY RECIPROCATED AMONGST THE LEAGUE, YEAH HE MAY WIND PEOPLE UP THE WRONG WAY, ESPECIALLY THE OPPOSING TEAMS, FANS, BENCH, REFS, LINOS, SOME POOR PLAYERS GRANDAD…. BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING HE HAS THE BIGGEST HEART I KNOW, AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP A MAN OUT. KEV CERTAINLY WOULD BACK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US PLAYERS AND YOU CAN’T FAULT HIM FOR THAT. I MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH HE’S TEAM SELECTION OR POXY FORMATIONS, BUT I HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR HIM. AND WOULDN’T CHANGE HIM FOR THE WORLD. LOVE YA GAFFA A.K.A THE SILVER FOX !!

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

KEV - THE SMALLEST BIGGEST SHIT HOUSE IN THE EOFL TIM IS A GREAT MANAGER AND ALSO A TOP TOP MAN. OH C**P THAT’S KEV? OH YEAH HE’S A C**T. I CANT WAIT FOR SATURDAYS, WORKING OUT WHO TO FIT INTO THE 3-5-21-3 FORMATION FOR THE 13+ PLAYERS HE WANTS TO FIT INTO THE STARTING LINE UP! CANT DO A WEEK WITHOUT YOU MATE! KEEP SHAKE RATTLING AND ROLLING I HAVE SO MUCH TO THANK KEV FOR. MATE!!

“CLASS GAFFER, WEARS HIS HEART ON HIS SLEEVE AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TEAM. SHENFIELD AFC IS HIS HOME.”

HE HELPED ME TO FALL BACK IN LOVE WITH FOOTBALL AND CREATES A GREAT ATMOSPHERE OFF THE PITCH AND AT TRAINING...FOR THE 20 MINUTES HE STAYS THERE FOR. A MAN I HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR DESPITE SOME OF THE UNSPEAKABLE THINGS I'VE WITNESSED AND HEARD ABOUT HIM DOING! HIDE YOUR WIVES, DAUGHTERS, GIRLFRIENDS, DOGS, LINOS, REFEREE!S, NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THE KEVLAR IN FULL FLOW. UP THE HORRIBLE CS A F F*CKING C!

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP FOR ME AND KEVLAR OVER THE YEARS. CALLED EACH OTHER A C***T AND MEANT IT ON MANY OCCASIONS, THEN I PURCHASED A CRACKING CHRISTMAS TREE FROM HIM, LEGEND WHENEVER I PLAY ON THE SIDE CLOSEST TO THE MANAGERS I SOMETIMES HEAR SOME THINGS THAT HE COMES OUT WITH AND MAKES ME LAUGH

SHENFIELDS VERY OWN KEVIN KEEGAN

‘WITH KEV ALL I CAN SAY IS HE IS ONE OF THE MOST CARING, PASSIONATE AND CRAZIEST COACH AND MAN I HAVE MET AND ALWAYS BRINGS KEY ENERGY INTO THE TEAM’

"AS A FOOTBALL MANAGER, HE HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH TO TEAM BONDING - HE BELIEVES IN SCORING BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD”

MORE HEART THAN ANYONE I KNOW, NOT BAD FOR SOMEONE WITH A DODGY TICKER

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

THE GAFFER, SOMEONE YOU’LL DIE ON THE PITCH FOR EVERY SINGLE GAME. UNAPOLOGETIC, UNORTHODOX BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY AS AUTHENTIC AS THEY COME. KEV, WHAT A MAN. SO PASSIONATE FOR THE CLUB IN SO MANY WAYS AND ALWAYS WANTS THE TEAM TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN NO MATTER WHAT’S IN OUR WAY. HE HAS THE PERFECT BALANCE OF HAVING A LAUGH AND A JOKE AND WHEN TO BE SERIOUS. KEEP BEING YOU KEV AND KEEP REELING THEM IN

🎣

KEVS LIKE THE 12TH MAN FOR US, HE‘S THERE FOR US ON & OFF THE PITCH

‘WHEN HE CASTS HIS ROD FROM THE TOUCH LINE’

🎣

KEV IS THE ONE BLOKE THAT BELIEVED IN 6-7 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS NEW TO MENS FOOTBALL, HE BELIEVED ME AND FOR THAT ILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL

😇

MORE HEART THAN ANYONE I KNOW, NOT BAD FOR SOMEONE WITH A DODGY TICKER

OUR GAFFER KEV!!!

WE HAVE THE BFG, JUST THE SMALLER VERSION. CAUSE HES THE FRIENDLIEST GUY EVER, BUT IS THE MOST AGGRESIVE ON THE SIDELINE WHAT CAN I SAY, GREAT MANAGER, GREAT FRIEND, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WHEN I NEED TO CALL HIM. I JUST WISH HE’D STOP BOTTLING MAN OF THE MATCH AND JUST GIVE IT TO ONE PERSON!!

🤣🤣🤣

KEV’S A GREAT MAN MANAGER AND THE ONLY THING HE LOVES MORE THAN WINNING IS GIVING IT TO THE OTHER TEAM BISH BASH BOSH

THE MAN BLEEDS SHENFIELD, I THINK HE IS THE MOST UNLIKED MANAGER IN THE LEAGUE

MANAGEMENT MESSAGE WHAT A WEEKEND. THE LAST TIME A WIN FELT SO GOOD IT WAS THE CUP FINAL!! WE HAD GONE INTO THIS GAME WITH A GREAT TEAM MORALE AND ON THE BACK OF A FANTASTIC WIN AGAINST HAROLD WOOD. THE BOYS WORKED REALLY HARD IN TRAINING AND ARRIVED ON SATURDAY WITH A GREAT MENTALITY. WE STARTED WELL, WORKING HARD AS A UNIT TO TRY AND GET SOME CONTROL OF THE GAME. WE WENT BEHIND TO A PENALTY WHICH JOE DID GREAT TO GET A HAND TO, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT CREPT UNDER HIM. NOT LONG AFTER WE GOT A PENALTY OURSELF, WHICH TOMMY (SPONSORED BY TAYLOR CONSTRUCTION....FORCE OF HABIT), DISPATCHED NICELY! JUST BEFORE HALF TIME LUKE WILLIAMSON MANAGED TO GET IN FROM A KEEPING MISTAKE AND PUT US HEAD FOR THE HALF. IN THE SECOND HALF WE STARTED WELL, BUT CATHOLIC MANAGED TO GRAB A GOAL BACK MAKING IT 2-2. A GREAT BATTLE ENSUED FOR THE REST OF THE GAME, UNTIL 3 MINUTES BEFORE THE WHISTLE, LIONEL MANAGED TO SOMEHOW BEAT THE TOUCHLINE AND SMASH ACROSS GOAL AND THROUGH THE KEEPERS LEGS...WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE VEO ON THAT ONE!!

ON TO THIS WEEK WE TOOK THE ENJOYMENT AND TEAM SPIRIT OF OUR GAME INTO TRAINING AND WE LOOK TO CONTINUE OUR UNBEATEN OCTOBER INTO THIS WEEKEND!!
