We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Tony Green.
Tony carried out various roles across grassroots football for many years, and was particularly well-known as a referee and a mentor to many other officials.
Our sincere thoughts go out to Tony's family & friends.
Matt Hancock has assumed the role of Chair of the Board of Directors at the Staffordshire Football Association.
He succeeds the longstanding tenure of Mike Stokes, who held the role from 2014 until his retirement 👏
