Eleventh tier Peckham Town more than happy to blaze a trail with Lionesses legend Mary Phillip the only female coach in the English football pyramid as 'The Menace' look to move on up

An hour before kick-off and Bryan Hall is busy clearing leaves from the car park. Then there's the lines of the technical areas to paint and the goals to move into position. He's already been up since first light mowing the pitch.

Life as a football club chairman in the eleventh tier of English football certainly isn't one of hospitality and hobnobbing as would be found in the Premier League.

But for Hall, who was 13 when he founded Peckham Town by pinning a notice to a tree in a local park - what passed for social networking in 1982 - it's all in a day's work for his labour of love.
