Jim Fleeting 💙

Don't leave your CCD too late this year - three opportunities coming up 👀#ScottishFACoachEd

I am so sad about the passing of Jim Fleeting and have found it difficult to post. This photo is from 2001 when he took a bunch of us to Shetland so that every kid on the island got to have some fun - that was his style. Thinking of his family just now at this difficult time

Remember this weekend that it is THEIR game!! #LetThemPlay @ScottishFA

Fantastic to see this @ScottishFA event with @SPARintheUK going from strength to strength! A big shout out to my @ScotFAWest colleagues @JackMckeown1 & @jenmccluskey23 who have been superb in co-ordinating this again in our region & well done to all involved! @ShirleyMartin_1

Fantastic celebration for UEFA Grassroots Week at @ThornAthleticFC today with a holiday football camp. Delighted that @NeilBibby MSP and @ThomasCArthur MSP were able to come down and show their support. #UEFAGrassrootsWeek

Absolutely brilliant to see what @ThornAthleticFC have been doing to celebrate @UEFA Grassroots Week. I can imagine all the kids in both of these schools had a blast👏👏

Today is the start of UEFA Grassroots Week! ⚽️ Football is more than a game – it’s a journey we all share. This #GrassrootsWeek we celebrate the joy, the laughter, and the connections built in every club across Scotland. #FootballForLife #ScottishFA

@vysatd I know Gordon and just a nice person who had time for everyone

@AHGilchrist Andy, I remember Jimmy when he played over here with the Toronto Blizzard. Superb player and even nicer man.

To say I am heartbroken is an understatement. I had the privilege of working with Jimmy and he was everything you would expect him to be. Zambia and many other stories he would tell me I could listen to again so many times - RIP Jimmy

INSPIRING | Every year I am blown away by so many amazing people that do so much good in our grassroots game. A huge thank you to everyone that plays their part no matter how small and it was nice to recognise this recently within our @ScotFAWest region. Thank you!!
