Calling all grassroots footballers, every club and every community has its grassroots

goat.

You know, the players who are out at 7 a.m. putting the nets up whatever the weather.

The coaches who dedicate their spare time to teaching kids the beautiful game, the managers

that deal with last minute dropouts and the people washing the kit.

The athletic recognises these unsung football heroes and we want to hear about them.

football club sport community's grassroots goat and our award-winning journalist

like why you want to just pull me from the group, you know, so it'd be irritating to hear

that because I just want to watch the game and I also liked those things.

Like I played basketball with those guys and I was a part of that dynasty that they're

building right now and I didn't think they had a dynasty until right now.
