NAME - SHARREN SAWYERS
POSITION - CLUB SECTATARY / CHILD WELFARE OFFICER
CONTACT - PHONE - 07584763763
ABOUT ME - Sharren Sawyers is a special story. Previously, Sharren knew not the first thing about football. She was once just a loving mother who was looking for a club because her son wanted to play football. She came across HUFC at the time the club had just been ‘born’ and consented to her son signing up. From taking her son to training sessions and to the games Sharren developed a fast rising interest in the game and was determined to learn all about football. Since then she has not only learnt the game but has completed her FA Level 1 course and is about to embark on the Level 2. She also had enough confidence to take over as manager and coach of the U13 squad in the 2006-07 Season. They finished level on points at the top of the table and only a goal difference of 10 stopped her from being a winning manager in her first season. Now she’s a loving mother who knows quite a bit about football. Sharen has also become a qualified Youth Worker and ploughs her trade in the Handsworth and Aston areas in Birmingham.
