Listen to an interview about Sports Chaplaincy on Fair Game with Matt Baker (Charlton Athletic), Phil Wright (West Ham) and Neil Durling (Tonbridge Angels).
Have you ever looked at the list of your club’s employees in the programme, or the Who’s Who page on their website and wondered what the Club Chaplain’s role is? Graham Miller went to The Valley to meet Charlton Athletic’s chaplain Matt Baker, West Ham United’s Philip Wright and Neil Durling from Tonbridge Angels.
Three very different clubs, but their chaplains all have important roles to play for players and fans alike and Matt, Philip and Neil gave us a fascinating insight into their involvement.
We hear about a club-branded dog collar, and there is even a claim of evidence that God is a football fan!
