Rookie boss Josh Gallagher is rocking and rolling his first season in management by leading Raynes Park Vale to the Combined Counties South title.
And with twin brother Jake pulling the strings in midfield and cousin Jordan finishing as the club’s top scorer for a second successive season, it’s a family affair that’s making sweet music down at the Prince George’s Playing Fields in south-west London.
Boss Josh, a former midfielder with South Park, Chipstead and Leatherhead, forms part of one of football’s most families, alongside Jake, the former Welling United, Aldershot Town, Dorking Wanderers and England C ace.
Brother number three, Dan, has starred for Dorking in the National League this season while the youngest sibling is a certain Conor Gallagher, who has made himself one of the most sought-after players in Europe for his performances at Chelsea and England.
