Jason is an ex-first team scorer, but has never been persuaded to don the whites himself, preferring instead to be the Svengali & mastermind behind the Cricket Club Old Boys football team's inevitable rise to mediocrity.

As a coach he is a forward thinker, eschewing the traditional methods & tactics and introducing revolutionary new ones, like "turn up and you'll get a game". Pulled off a tactical masterstroke by introducing a 20 stone keeper and 57 year old right back in the last game of last season.

Will probably be found busily arranging the team's summer training camp in Spain and planning ahead for next season's assault on the lofty heights of Hartlepool Sunday League Division 2.

Scott Phillips is rumoured to be part of his plans, but Jason has refused to comment, preferring to concentrate on his pursuit of summer transfer targets.Having been thwarted in his attempts to secure the services of Breathless rejects due to low football card sales, he is rumoured to be particularly interested in that gadgey with a walking stick who used to walk round the cricket field really quickly. "If he's that quick with a stick, just think what he'd be like without it, could be a real asset on the right" said Jason, prior to departing for a meeting with Sacko to get the necessary funds released.
