I grew up in Greece and lived in Piraeus supporting Olympiakos as a kid. Many years later and without any intent my son Zaine joined the East Kew FC as an under 7. I’ve been coaching the boys for the last 4 years having myself played in the junior ranks for Caulfield United. I am a mad supported of Manchester United having lived in Manchester for 4 years. I work in the food manufacturing space in General Management capacity and coaching the boys gives me valuable time with my kids in a very busy work schedule.
