BOSS DRUMS UP SUPPORT!

McIntyre living out his dream as a fan

- Matt Badcock

NOT long after booking their place in today’s National League North promotion final at Scunthorpe United, a picture of a young Calum McIntyre - decked out in his Chester City shirt - surfaced on social media.

“I knew you were going to ask me about that,” the Chester boss, whose side beat Kidderminster in the semi-final, said. “It’s a terrible photograph, firstly. I think real conversations need to be had with 15-year-old me, by the way.

“That photo is 16 years old but I would like to go back in time and have a conversation with myself — largely around the choice of jeans and also the fact I’ve got a collar up on my polo shirt.

“I was never the drummer! I could never drum! A really close friend of mine was the drummer and the photograph was to skit him. He has had the last laugh, hasn’t he?

“But the point behind the question, which I think is a lovely one, is this is the football club I’ve grown up at. I’ve grown up in the city, gone to school in the city, I am really proud of where I come from — it’s a brilliant end of the world.
