Have we had a thread yet? If not we should and here it is. He’s one of our own and I’m delighted that when they come to tell his SAFC story events at a game 23 years ago are now totally overshadowed by his fine coaching record for us including being ever present on the bench this season. Well done Michael lad and as was said this week, this is only the beginning.
 

He's done nowt man, Vulcano was the man behind everything happening on the coaching side at this club I heard. ;)

Nah fair play to him. I won't pretend to know which coaches are good, but he's been around for a while which tells you that the club rate him. You can see he has a great connection with the lads too.

This is a good shout.

No idea how it works behind the scenes with out coaching team, but what I do know is that during the game, Proctor seems to be the main coach Regis is talking to about subs etc.
 
RLB obviously respects him to have kept him around following a few reshuffles, nice to have one of us in the dugout. I'm absolutely in no doubt that he loves his job and is good at it, but we'll never really know as fans how to judge assistant coaches.
 
Well done on starting the thread @Pantomime Mackem and I agree that (a) he’s obviously making a significant contribution and (b) after being witness to the infamous game many moons ago, it’s a credit to him that’s he’s taken his (obviously decent but far from world-class football talent) and not let personal career frustrations hold him back to continue on his study of the game to get to the point of being an obviously important part of a team that has achieved so much this season.

Well done MP! 👏

You could see what it meant to him when he realised we'd qualified, class man!!
 
Quite mad to think he retired from playing in 2009 but didnt go straight into coaching, he hosted the Into the Light podcast for Sun FM until as recently as 2016 when the club brought him in as part time U15 coach and he worked his way up from there. He wasn't involved in first team coaching until the Dodds/Proctor Doncaster/Cheltenham caretaker run in 2022. That's one hell of a journey in itself, nevermind what happened as a player.
