Back Patting . . .
So lads, I thought I'd share with you what I was up to last night. My soccer club, Stoddert Soccer Club, awarded me 2009 Co-Ed Coach of the Year. In addition to the plaque, I received a real snazzy warm-up jacket.
Now I'm insisting my players call me COTY!
My acceptance speech was a tad under two hours. I dedicated a good forty-five minutes to recollections of my first youth soccer practice, age 9, on Lakenheath AFB, where two dads had us practice throw-ins the entire practice!

Wow, coaching has really taken its toll by the look of it Johnno. I hope that whippersnapper on the right helped you carry your trophy back to your table for you. Congrats.
Congrats, Johnno! Well deserved, I'm sure. I also want to commend you for rocking the Hammers wear during the awards ceremony. You're a testament to the West Ham Academy.
Thanks for noticing, Bob. . . That very much was a concious decision . . .
Congratulations John. I also noticed the West Ham shirt. I also noticed your jeans!! Couldn't dress up a little?
All I get at the end of my seasons coaching is lousy gift certificates!
