Chris Berry is the Square Rangers manager and it was he who had the initial idea to develop the Square Football Club. Chris says “Yes I had the idea back in 2003 to start a football club based at the Square Methodist Church and in our first season we set up a team playing in the CYFL Under 14 league, obviously it has been great to see the Club grow and flourish to where it is now I really enjoy the Coaching and try to emphasise to my players to enjoy their football, work hard and always be well prepared before a match.” Chris is delighted that his family are all actively involved within the Club with his wife Linda as Club treasurer and two sons Josh and Nathan playing for Square Rangers. Chris is a keen Ipswich Town supporter and really enjoys taking his two boys Josh and Nathan to Portman Road.

Colin Meacham

Colin Meacham manages the Under 19 side. Colin played the majority of his football in the Hertfordshire County and Watford Sunday leagues for Croxley Green based sides and reached a fairly high amateur level.

Colin’s main reason for coaching and managing the side is to help all of the players reach their full potential, although he does like it when the team wins. Colin however needs to control his vocal levels during the matches, even though he is standing as far away from all the other supporters as he can. Colin is an ardent supporter of Watford FC (and does not like Luton Town) and once played in a cup final on the Watford pitch, unfortunately he lost 2-0.

Linda says "I am not very good at all the football rules and regulations but am happy to pop along to the Square FC matches and lend my vocal support as well as supporting the teams by looking after all their cash!"
