It is with the greatest delight that I offer both my personal congratulations and those of everyone involved with The Football Association on your marriage.
The FA considers it a great honour and privilege that you are able to serve as our President and as such takes great pride and pleasure in witnessing both yours and Catherine’s happiness.
I wish you both a very long, happy and healthy life together and we very much look forward to welcoming you both to a match here at Wembley very soon.
I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
