We are delighted that visits by our CEO Luther Blissett has taken place with air cadets, army cadets and sea cadets throughout this week .

He has spoken to cadets about his own football journey since signing professional as a schoolboy! Overcoming adversity and how the values of a truly great football manager led him to play for his country. Values which match those instilled in our armed forces - and cadets.
