OM DENNE EPISODE
This month, Billy Thomson stands down as secretary of Army Football - a post he’s held for 21 years. He jokes that he wasn’t much of a player but his love for the game, and his desire to facilitate the game at every level of the Army, has kept him a busy man over the last two decades. He’s overseen a massive push for professionalism in the army set up and even now, only weeks from retiring, he is still looking to the future and, in particular, facilitating more opportunities for women. A brilliant conversation with a Scotsman who’s not afraid to speak his mind on all areas of the beautiful game.
