SPORTING NOSTALGIA

IT IS a natural progression for a number of Island footballers to go into coaching, then eventually management, but not many have matched the achievements of Newport boss Steve Brougham. Island-born Steve, 57, joined Andy Sampson’s dugout team at the start of the season, but found himself in the hotseat in November after Andy decided to step down inheriting a decent, young, talented squad pushing for promotion in Division 1 of the Sydenhams Wessex League.
