    Steve Evans

    Preferred position: Umpire

    Professional Yorkshireman who could be found umpiring North League games before getting involved with Boots around 2005. Firstly as an umpire, covering around 100 games a season (it's a more gentle game down here), and then getting coaxed out of retirement to be the 4s keeper in their first season. Playing side now restricted to answering goal keeping emergencies. Coached various teams, in particular the ladies 5s to a promotion for every season I've coached them and a 43 game unbeaten run. Met my beautiful wife at Boots and now combine babysitting duties with my coaching, umpiring and playing.
