Mary Hadden - Club
Chairman
Mary first became involved with Pinewood Football Club when her son,
Tommy, joined in 1998 when he was 4 years old.
She had little or no interest in football then, but, as a Mum of two
boys and a wife of a loyal Chelsea supporter, it was a case of, "
if you can't beat them, join them". Daniel, her youngest son
also followed on to join Pinewood a year later.
Starting out by helping in the kitchen at tournaments, Mary went on
to organising the Pinewood FC dinner /dance which was a huge success
and is now a highlight of the Pinewood calender.
This led to Mary joining the Pinewood committee whilst Mike Richards
was Chairman, and on his departure from the role, she stepped in to
carry on where he left off. Perhaps not her plan 11 years ago, but
somehow it just happened. And if you ask her, as Chairman, does she
know the off-side rule, her answer is "of course... NOT --- but
I've got 30 men who do"!!!!
