Club Directors
Ian Cook - Chairman
What is your first Boro’ Memory?
I went to Manor Park with my brother, on the 24th November 1979. It was the FA Cup 1st round against Northwich Victoria. Eamon Pugh scored a hat trick in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Unfortunately, we lost the replay 3-0.
Who is your favourite Boro’ player?
Paul Sugrue. I loved his energy and passion before he got whisked away to Man City.
Why did you want to be on the board?
To be part of the rebirth of our historic football team along with the passion and desire for football. There’s no better place than Nuneaton Town FC.
What to you hope to achieve as part of the board?

Lee Davies
What is your first Boro’ Memory?
"My earliest memories of Nuneaton are from the days at Liberty Way, with Kev Wilkin as manager and players like Gaz Dean, Mark Noon, and James Armson. Over the years, Nuneaton has had some great players."
Who is your favourite Boro’ player?
"There have been so many great players to choose from over the years, but if I could re-sign just one to play for us now, it would be Matty Stenson."
Why did you want to be on the board?
"I want to help Nuneaton grow as a club and get back to where we belong. It’s one of the biggest teams in non-league football, and if I can play a part in that for the supporters, that would be fantastic."
What to you hope to achieve as part of the board?
"It’d be great to see Nuneaton back where it belongs in the non-league pyramid — and having a home ground in the town again would be amazing."

Jim Evans - Supporters’ Co-Operative Representative
What is your first Boro’ memory?
Travelling by train with my Dad to watch the FA Cup first round match against Torquay. David Pleat was the Boro’ player-manager at the time. Unfortunately, we lost 1-0 in torrential rain!
Who is your favourite Boro’ player?
Paul Culpin who scored an amazing number of goals in the two seasons we were runners up in the Conference.
Why did you want to be on the board?
To be able to represent the members of the Supporters’ Co-Operative and ensure they are kept fully informed about the club’s progress.
What do you hope to achieve as part of the board?

Mark Lacrouts - Supporters’ Co-Operative Representative
What is your first Boro’ memory?
The 1984 FA Cup match Vs Scunthorpe United. It was such a great match - end to end. As a 13 year old kid, the lure of the floodlights from my bedroom window was too much to resist. I was hooked instantly.
Who is your favourite Boro Player?
Too many to mention, but for me it’s got to be Paul Culpin. I’ve never seen a more natural finisher in blue and white stripes. So dangerous anywhere near the penalty area.
Why did you want to be on the board?
Being a lifelong supporter who goes home and away, I’m so proud to be involved. It’s a true honour and a privilege. I have stood on the terraces, I understand people's shared scars and trepidations from repeated poor custodianship. Therefore, I felt that I had to oversee a real step-change in our club’s future by putting the fans and the club front and centre of everything I do.
What do you hope to achieve as part of the Board?
Firstly, and most importantly, is delivering a well-managed ambitious team and a sustainably financed club that can stand on its own feet. Re-establish the club that I love’s reputation with the fan base and the wider community. Establish a continued dialogue between the supporters and us the people running your club. Promote a clear pathway for local girls and boys to play for our relevant first teams. I believe if we do it right as a club on and off the pitch we will attract our fantastic fans, sponsors and ultimately great partners to bring our football club back home to Nuneaton.
