Ramesh

 Ramesh

Ramesh has been training with us for three years starting with our under tens team. Ramesh who is from bordering Karnataka has always spoken very good english and would often be used as the team interpreter by English coach Dan when training with the under tens. Ramesh's football has progressed by leaps and bounds over the last three years, but unfortunately he has not yet been able to showcase these skills in league games. He has no birth certificate and therefore is unable to register for the GFA leagues, not to be perturbed Ramesh still travels to all games to cheer on his friends.
