Did a very good job for the club, and probably the main reason for me getting into TUFC at all.
I came from a fairly typical scenario in Torbay, wheras whilst I was Torbay born and raised, my parents were from Birmingham and Manchester. Brought up in a family of Aston Villa fans, it was only through the Football in the Community program I even knew TUFC existed.
Through Frank Prince and the program, I got the opportunity to have the Plainmoor tour twice (one of which is was really ill, went away, blacked out in the changing rooms and had to be treated/brought round by the legend that was Norman Medhurst), scored 3 penalties past Ashley Bayes in the schools penalty competition and got my picture in the Herald thanks to going to football training in the retro Mod-Dec windows shirt.
Thanks for Frank, I got hooked and 21 years later I've just driven for three hours to watch us play Telford!
Great memories!
