England legend David Platt is helping grassroots football and he intervened to stop Boundary Park Juniors from collapsing.
You might be surprised if walking through a leafy Cheshire suburb to find David Platt coaching a grassroots football team.
Platt had been told Boundary Park, established in 1978, were struggling and he wanted to help. “I heard they were on the brink of not existing as a club anymore. I contacted the club chairman and pledged our support," he said. "Michael Vaughan's son played for our team as well and I was once in a meeting discussing Wilmslow Sports' finances and I thought it was ridiculous because we had myself and Michael, access to 300 parents and the community to fundraise.
Platt added: "With Golazzo, we've looked at the market and it's such a size that we can actually aid football clubs in terms of cost, not just with getting kits, balls and equipment, but with other solutions we're also looking at. "First and foremost, I think he's a great player," he said. "Sometimes you join another club and the environment doesn't feel right, you lose a little bit of confidence because you're not in the team and City have very good players.
Cole Palmer's transfer to Chelsea was next on the agenda and Platt said: "I know they thought a lot of him. What you understand when you're in football clubs is what is coming through and you have to create a pathway for them.
