In this episode, I interview Chesterfield Football Club supporter, Phil Tooley. Phil has been associated with his home town football club, Chesterfield FC, which is in Derbyshire, England, for over 40 years as a volunteer and reporter. He currently commentates on the club’s own internet radio station, 1866 Sport.
I ask Phil what he enjoys about a close involvement with the football club as a whole and we consider the crucial role the club's supporters have had in not only following the club's fortunes on the pitch, but off it, too, including being instrumental in the very survival of the club.
Other than football, another area he’s passionate about is fine food & drink, frequently combining these two areas together. You can hear more about his eating, or should I say fine dining habits, in the next episode of the podcast. Phil also hosts drink tasting events, sampling nights involving the likes of malt whisky, gin, rum, Belgian beer and port.
His day job involves working with companies who carry out research and development and enabling them to benefit from the Research & Development Tax Credits scheme. He is also a non-executive director of the Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire Credit Union.
