“The level of detail that Tony put into improving me technically, tactically and physically as a goalkeeper was brilliant.
Each working week had a purpose, covering as many possible scenarios that I was likely to face.
The improvement Tony made to my performance levels were so great I moved onto a club in the English Championship.
​
I’m forever grateful to him for the time he put into improving me every day we worked together."
