We are absolutely delighted to announce that former England Footballer and Premier League legend, David Platt, has joined Baguley Athletic FC as our new Club Chair!

David brings an unparalleled wealth of experience, professional standard, and vision from the very pinnacle of the game (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Sampdoria, Juventus, and 62 England Caps). His appointment marks the beginning of an ambitious new era for Baguley Athletic, from our first team down to our youth academy.

David has seen it all, and now he is focused on building something special right here. Please join us in giving him a massive BAFC welcome!

"I'm delighted to become Chair of Baguley Athletic FC, a club I have become familiar with over the last two seasons due to my son playing for the club. The ambition that all the involved volunteers have is motivating, and I believe I can bring many more positive aspects to the table to help them realise these ambitions.
Obviously my background gives the players and management an option to use me, but it's the ideas we have for the club off field that will really help us prosper.
I haven't lost my competitive edge, so progression and being successful is what we will strive for. We will do that by being an inclusive club, having a uniformed identity and supporting the local community. Success starts from those parameters."
