Alan Lord`s Profootball Academy- the Future Beckons!

By -







We all know Alan Lord to be a great coach and a scout with more than a little of the golden touch about his work.
Since 2006 Alan`s Profootball `system' has produced no less than 57 players at Centre of Excellence Level, 15 Full Time Professionals including Anthony Pilkington, now of Norwich City, and Josh Thompson who subsequently signed for Celtic after initially playing for Stockport County, and 4 International Footballers.
A fantastic record you might think...and you would be right, but this September ( in association with Myerscough College, but based in Stockport ) Alan launches another exiting initiative aimed at home-grown talented young footballers aged between 16 and 18 years of age.
Asked about the scheme Alan  said " I would like to give Stockport youngsters a chance to fulfil their potential , for them to experience an enjoyable and caring environment. I want to give these players the best possible chance to achieve their chosen career, and I will ensure that they feel special and valued, whilst trying to make their vision a reality".
Its not pie in the sky either...Alan`s new approach via his Profootball Academy will provide
                                                         +   training every day `like a pro'.........
                                                         +  technical, tactical physical and psychological training    syllabus....
                                                         +  high standard recognised midweek fixture programme....
                                                         + personal/ individual training and match analysis.....
                                                          + video CV compilation ,work experience at pro clubs  etc etc etc...
At the end of a 2 year course players can come away with a Edexcel BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport - an equivalent to 3 GCE A Levels, and massively work related as far as would be young pros are concerned!
When Help the Hatters heard the details of this wonderful project we were immensely excited, and quickly enquired as to how we could help.
Alan advised that a sponsorship scheme exists to allow companies or individuals to get on board and support the scheme by sponsoring a young player.
Just £150.00  would provide the player with full training kit and travel wear.
Fantastic.............we thought and immediately signed up as the schemes first sponsors!
Why not join Help the Hatters in supporting young footballers in Stockport, and do the same!

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forgotten more about Co

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, the

Stockport County 4 Accrington Stanley 2 ( Football League 2) Saturday 20 April 2024

          A friend captured the situation nicely as we both descended the steps at the Cheadle End “ there are not many days like that” he said ,and he hit the spot perfectly, we had both just come away from a County game that finished as a party as County disposed of the challenge from Accrington Stanley with a comfortable 4-2 win, and the old place dissolved in a glorious mix of excitement, and emotion as the blues were presented with the League 2 Championship trophy! I say that it was comfortable, but I thought Accrington made a good fist of competing at times, in the end beaten by another clutch of top-class goals- 2 from Wootton , who I thought edged M.O.M ,and one each from   Evans and Sarcevic which did the biz for Dave Challinor`s boys. Their 8 th win in succession took County`s points tally with one match remaining to a mammoth 92 points- still 7 clear of the rest and set up a spectacularly good party on the pitch after the final whistle -more on this later in the repor
