Steve Southern 39 Manager – 1st Team

Best moment for Diggle FC
The whole of last season apart from all my errors and misjudgements.

Worst moment for Diggle FC
Our next defeat. Plus my over enthusiastic match reports offending people.

Biggest influence on Football
My father. His passion for the game.

Likes
My wife, Julie and 3 kids; seeing players improve; putting my time into football to repay all the pleasure I have had from the game.

Dislikes
Players who lack the intelligence or ambition to get better; winning without class & losing without dignity.

Music
I’m getting old so bear with me: Level 42; Smiths; EBTG; Icicle Works; Kraftwerk; Style Council; South; A Certain Ratio

Fitness Regime
With the job (lawyer), wife, kids, Diggle FC – are you joking.

If I was Director of Football…
Focus on the future and be ambitious. Saddleworth needs a successful club worthy of its superb people, but does Saddleworth have the vision to achieve that?
