Luke Chadwick

As a young footballer the abuse I received about my appearance affected my mental health a lot.The feeling of embarrassment stopped me talking about how I felt. Although uncomfortable at times,it's so important we talk about our feelings to get through the tough times! ❤️

✒️ I'VE WRITTEN A BOOK! Now that's something I never thought I would ever say! amzn.eu/d/dmmOR4s pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/not-just-…

⚽️ NOT A GREAT GAME! But a very welcome clean sheet and fantastic performance by Jonny Evans rolling back the years! Always a buzz being pitch side at such a fantastic stadium.

👹 IMPORTANT WIN FOR UNITED after a tough start it was comfortable in the end. The away fans were fantastic throughout! Really enjoyable day pitchside with MUTV offering fascinating insight………. In my opinion anyway!!

☺️ 100 NOT OUT! So happy with today’s announcement of the Football Fun Factory reaching 100 Head Coaches (franchisees) across the Uk and Ireland.  It’s such a proud moment to hit this huge milestone so early in our journey. With so much hard put in by so many people.

😆 THEN VS NOW! I can’t believe these photos were taken 24 years apart, I’ve hardly aged a flipping day! It must be my skincare routine and plenty of vitamin D!! Still in the trusted Diadora’s as well!

🤩 IN THE PRESENCE OF GREATNESS! That’s what I’m sure the guys were thinking in these photos!!  In all seriousness though to share a pitch with two all time greats of Manchester United and so many other legendary players made Saturday a really special day!

❤️ HAPPY, HUMBLED, AND EXTREMELY GRATEFUL! That’s how I’ve woken up feeling this morning after having the opportunity to live my dream again running around on the hallow turf of Old Trafford.

🎶 MEMORIES LIKE THE CORNERS OF my mind! We’ve created so many memories already in our short journey so far at The FFF! Take a read of my latest blog where I look back on some of the highlights so far! thefootballfunfactory.co.uk/so-many-wonder…

💙 AT THE FOOTBALL FUN FACTORY every child is offered a three week free trial to see if they enjoy our programmes. In this blog I detail the why behind this and how it’s us who is on trial and never the children. thefootballfunfactory.co.uk/try-before-you…

🤩 WHAT A YEAR! In the latest Football Fun Factory blog I take a look back at what has been quite a momentous year for The FFF. It is absolutely mind blowing to say but in 2023 over 50,000 children attended our unique Football experiences! thefootballfunfactory.co.uk/looking-back-o…

💪🏻 AS WE BEGIN THE JOURNEY of 2024 I wanted to share my latest Football Fun Factory blog. In this I discuss how at times in my life I’ve focussed on the destination or accomplishment and forgot to enjoy the journey of actually getting there! thefootballfunfactory.co.uk/its-all-about-…

@RoystonTownFC @GNev2 @Louischadwick5 😲

@GNev2 do you ever recall @Luke_FFF scoring a header as good as this? His GK son @Louischadwick5 scored a 96th min headed equaliser for 9 man Royston Town yesterday! youtu.be/eXuV2kqFzec?si…

@chazjohnson2911 To far Charlie, take this down please!

@RoystonTownFC @CoalvilleTownFC What a guy!!🤩🤩🤩

FT Coalville Town 1-1 Royston Town Despite being down to 9 men, the Crows held on and found a way to equalise through Goalkeeper Louis Chadwick to gain us a valuable point on the road. Best of luck @CoalvilleTownFC for the rest of the season.

😊 THERE’S NOTHING LIKE BEING PART of a team! Being part of a team is a fantastic feeling. I’ve been lucky enough to be part of many teams on my life’s journey to date, and I can honestly say I’ve loved being part of every single one. thefootballfunfactory.co.uk/being-part-of-…

🙌🏻 THE LIFE SKILLS THAT are developed through football are far more important than the actual football skills in my opinion. That’s the subject of this weeks blog, let me know what you think?? thefootballfunfactory.co.uk/life-skills-be…

😁

🤩 FAVOURITE MOMENTS! Starting at Royal Antwerp!
