GRAHAM DRURY | MANAGER |
 |
|
|---|---|---|
Date of Birth: 20/4/71. Graham played in the Notts Alliance, Leicester Senior League with Harrowby United and Bourne Town in the United Counties League. He began his managerial career with Sunday side Harrowby Athletic and in seven years with them he won a total of sixteen trophies. He also led Bottesford to promotion in the Notts Alliance before having a successful four-year stint with Harrowby United in the U.C.L. During his time with the Arrows he steered them into the Premier Division for the first time in their history. Graham was appointed manager of Stamford in May, 2005 and in his first season with the Daniels he led them to promotion to the Southern League Premier Division via the Division One Play-Offs. In 2006/07 Stamford finished in a creditable eighth position in the Premier Division but Graham's team building plans for the 2007/08 campaign were thrown into disarray when the club was switched to the Unibond League. After a difficult start Stamford got to grips with their new surroundings and by the time Graham and his assistant Paul Holden switched to Corby Town in January, 2008 the Daniels were ninth in the table. |
