Inspired Milligan revelling as boss

LIKE Frank Sinatra vowed in 1969, Bamber Bridge boss Jamie Milligan wants to do management ‘My Way.’

The 40-year-old took over at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium in December, leaving his full-time playing days behind him at hometown side AFC Blackpool, thanks to a second chance.

“I had a decision to make whether I needed to stop playing,” revealed the man who replaced Joey Collins over three months ago.

“I’ve signed on as a player as well, but I went for the job [at Bamber Bridge] when it came up before [2018], so they offered me it this time and I thought it was a perfect time to come and stop playing completely.”

He was considered a favourite for his current job when his own former manager at Brig Neil Reynolds departed in October 2018 but was overlooked in favour of Mick Taylor.
