James and Amanda

2011

James was in a car crash in 2011, breaking both his arms and fracturing his leg. He met Amanda while recovering. “I was in a very low place. For me, it's a huge milestone that I have met someone who has turned my life around. “She gave me what I wanted: Stability, a job, a family, and security.” He explained: “It's where we met, it's everything. We've run it for 10 years together, so it's been a huge part of our lives... It was a whole club event. The flowers were done by a lady who's one of the mums [of a young player]. The Chairman married us under the posts. The first team player helped decorate the venue.”
