MIKE SHEERIN – A LEGEND OF OUR CLUB If you have been following the fortunes of our football club for the last 18 years, there has been one person who has been instrumental in nurturing and growing the younger boys age groups, as well as being a leader in developing the club and being the driving force in our hugely successful galas. That person is Mike Sheerin. Starting in the 2003/4 season as the assistant to Geoff Cheetham’s U8 boys team, Mike then took on the role of coaching the U8 and U7 boys from 2006/7 and stayed with the younger age groups all the way until Sunday 27th June 2021. Mike’s impact on the club is impossible to pay credit to in a couple of paragraphs. He has been selfless in his service, giving up a huge amount of time to coach, attend club & league meetings, make pitch improvements and provide endless amounts of advice to aspiring and experienced coaches. Simply put, we wouldn’t be the club we are without him. We must also remember that the hours he has given to Wetherby Athletic require the support and encouragement of Mike’s wife, Nicola. We extend a special thanks to her for allowing Mike to spend his weekends out of the house for the last 18 years and hope that you both enjoy Mike’s newfound free time. Mike, a big THANK YOU for everything that you have done; you are a Legend.
