  • EP20 - The Jersey Bulls Episode
    Mar 14 2022

    This week the boys will be focusing on a football club rather than a role or job within football. Richard and Jamie speak with the CEO of Jersey Bulls Football Club, Ian Horswell.


    Ian tells us all about the very short history of Jersey Bulls and how far they have come in such a short space of time. You will get to hear how and why the club was created, the ambitions of the football club and the logistics around playing in the Channel Islands in the English football pyramid.


    This is such an interesting chat with a passionate CEO and volunteer which really is what makes non-league football so special. Jersey Bulls will also be playing some of their home games in the south of England (Three Bridges FC, Wycombe Wanderers and Ascot United) over the next few weeks while their home ground is redeveloped. To learn more, visit their website www.bulls.je or their social media channels.
