A man who has done much to lead the Blues to where the club is now with astute leadership spoke in the wake of a tremendous season which was tantalisingly close to ending in promotion.
As it is, Chester will remain in National League North.
“I'm really proud of the players and the football staff, the whole club really and the supporters,” said Green. “To be part of that. We are disappointed the result didn’t go for us on the day.”
