Tony appears easy-going with a really happy manner but don't be fooled!! Tony will work you hard on and off the pitch. He is totally committed to hockey and the GK's he coaches.
Tony is professional and utterly conscientious. He's brought out the best in me, encouraging me with new techniques and drills, variety, support and feedback.
Tony has taken the time though to see the "whole" me. To understand me and how I tick. He has motivated me, pushed me, inspired me and given me the confidence and freedom to still play my game.
Tony is an inspiring coach, able to work with all ages and abilities helping them to develop

Tony is a fantastic person, very accomodating, understanding and patient.
A great goalkeeper with a wealth of knowledge.
He has represented England and the North of England.
Anyone aspiring to the top-level should learn from those that have done it.
