Versatile Non-League ace bags Ted Lasso role

TV STAR SAM!

PROMOTION, captaining his country at the Gold Cup, coaching aspiring Harry Kanes and even a role in Apple TV hit Ted Lasso – football has provided Sam Cox with more than he could have ever imagined.

The 32-year-old has enjoyed a fine career in the NonLeague game, at the likes of Boreham Wood, Hayes & Yeading, Wealdstone Hampton & Richmond, Braintree and Welling United, where he spent last season as assistant manager.

And the effervescent midfielder has achieved plenty off it too.

“I say this to the kids I coach at Spurs: football creates so many opportunities,” Cox says. “The enthusiasm and the love you build for it at a young age sets the foundation for when you’re older – whether you have a professional career in the game or go off to do something else in the field of football.

“Football has taught me so much personally. The way to interact with people. The way to talk to people, handle interviews, others personable skills. This is another opportunity that has come from my love for the game. I am very blessed and very grateful.”

‘This’ latest opportunity has been taking on the role of Armando in Ted Lasso, featuring alongside major stars like Jason Sudeikis.

It came about from a Sliding Doors moment after answering a late call to join film at Hayes & Yeading’s ground to be in the background of the football scenes before accepting an invite to a five-a-side tournament.
