EPCP SPURS was set up by Emerson Park
School in the London Borough of Havering in September 2004.
Six players attended the first meeting with Pat Kielty from Essex FA
providing the coaching. Our numbers for coaching sessions are
regularly in the high teens & we are now open to players aged
from 7 to 18. |

 |
Tottenham Hotspur are firmly
established as our coaching partners, with Tony Millard and
Paul Vickery providing coaching sessions at Emerson Park
School in Hornchurch. Our link to Tottenham brings many
benefits in addition to the excellent coaching. We have
played in the indoor training facility at White Hart Lane and
the hospitality area was the venue for our end of season club
night. |
| |
| The end of last season was a busy
one, three of the players were guests at the official opening
of the Sports College by Sir Trevor Brooking, ex-West Ham and
England and now Director of Football Development at the FA. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Trevor was also on hand at the
‘Grassroots Football Show’ held at the ExCel exhibition centre
in London’s Docklands. The squad were there to take part in
a coaching session and played in the Tottenham kit. |
|
|
| |
|
| We gained our first commercial
sponsor in July when the ‘Fishtank’ nightclub in Southsea
put on a tribute night in honour of Spurs fan and DJ Fat Bob
Harley who sadly passed away earlier in the year. |
 |

|

|
|
We hope that we can live up to the
generosity of all of the folk who gave their time and services for
free for a memorable evening in the Wedgewood Rooms, South Parade
Pier. |

Building up membership was the main part
of our first season, although we were able to take part in our first
tournament, the Ability Counts competition in Regent’s Park.
Our second season started at Cleves School in Newham where we
provided a coaching session as part of Newham Primary Care Trust’s
Newham Champions Day, to celebrate what disabled children can do. |

Since joining us, several of the club
members have discovered a talent for athletics, gaining medals
in national athletics championships. The club are now
part of the Jack Petchey Awards Scheme. |
| |
| It is much easier to find out about
the club, now that we have our own web-site – www.epcpspurs.co.uk
