Ex-record breaker Tony joins the team
Alfreton Town have appointed former player Tony Henson as their new commercial director.
He played for the Reds back in the late 1970s, scoring 31 goals in 92 appearances before moving up the road to Chesterfield in 1981, for a then club record transfer fee of £1,500.
Local businessman Henson, 52, who lives in Alfreton, has been a regular visitor to the Impact Arena over the last few seasons.
He has recently opened a new business venture in Riddings, a shop opposite the Red Lion public house, which doubles as a tattooists and gents and boys hairdressers, called Tatts and Trims.
He has years of experience in retail sales to call on, having worked for DFS, and Alfreton and Shirland Golf Clubs.
Any local individuals or businesses interested in sponsoring the Reds can contact Tony direct on 07961 670368.
He said: “I love Alfreton Town Football Club and have done for years and years, always following the club’s results. I have become a regular home and away supporter for the last four years.
“I had been away from the club for around 30 years but when I started visiting again, I was introduced to the people there and invited into the directors box and that meant a lot to me.
“After a few chats with chairman Wayne Bradley, I sent him my CV and he must have seen something in there he liked because I was set on!
“I will be dealing with advertising and sponsorship for the club and I can’t wait to get started” he ended.
