What started as an idea to give lads who’d fallen out of love with the game a home has turned into something special. The support so far has been Unreal💙 Thanks to @bunch_amateurs for making it look & feel incredible. It’s going to be a roller coaster of a journey! 🎥 #BoAFC

This day in history 6 June 1944, #DDay, British soldiers landed in Normandy alongside Allied forces to begin the liberation of Europe 🪖 Today, we remember their courage, sacrifice, and service 🫡 Lest we forget.

In my opinion not taking Cole Palmer to the World Cup is an error. He’s confident, a bit arrogant in the best way. He’s not afraid. He’s special. He should have been in that squad. He’s someone who strikes fear into opponents and doesn’t shy away from big moments. #ColePalmer

Going into a tough game as clear underdogs, but reaching our first cup final as a new club is a huge achievement, especially one as prestigious as a County Cup Final. Time to embrace the challenge ⚽🏆

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who’s reached out with kind words. You really see how kind people are at times like this, and who takes the time to check in. I know it’s not always easy to know what to say, but every message has meant a lot to me and my family 💙

Lovely moment yesterday. Turned up to see the boys, Allazar gave me a hug and said sorry for your loss. That meant a lot. Works so hard, great attitude, and a brilliant lad. Fully deserved his moment scoring the winning penalty. Delighted for him. Big future ahead 💪⚽️

This weekend we lost my Dad, Peter Atkinson. He was a good man, kind, generous, always present. He showed up for people and helped without being asked. He passed surrounded by his family, in a room full of love. 📷 Chartwell House, a place we loved to visit together #RIPDad 🤍
