INTRODUCTION BY THE CHAIRMAN 2016-2017 5 INTRODUCTION BY THE ACTING CHAIRMAN I am very pleased to welcome you to The Football Association Handbook, the essential guide to the rules and regulations of football. The Handbook has been published every year since 1895, excluding the war years, and should again prove an invaluable companion to people involved in football at all levels. The FA has the privilege and the responsibility of overseeing football in England as a whole. It does so in partnership with a powerful professional game and a national game administered locally by dedicated people and played in facilities all over the country. But football is ‘one game’ and we approach it with one set of values. Football has rules to protect those who take part in it and I hope that every recipient of the 2016-2017 Handbook, whatever his or her involvement in the game, will fi nd it a helpful reference book during what I hope will be another exciting season.

    ALTRINCHAM F.C. NEWSLETTER : ISSUE NUMBER 1 Altrincham Football Club Newsletter Issue 1 December 2016 NEW BOSS AND BACKROOM STAFF When Altrincham's board concluded the appointment of Jim Harvey hadn't had the effect not only desired but widely expected, given his impressive track record at various levels of the game, and terminated his contract on December 6, it was decided to place his assistant Matt Doughty in interim charge. Matt Doughty Matt is known as Buzz due to a jawline that resembles that of Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear, and he wasted no time sticking his chin out and declaring his pride at being trusted with trying to revive Alty's fortunes. Firmly believing an affinity with the club was a prerequisite for getting the best out of his players, swiftly turned to former Robins captain Robbie Lawton and Alty legend Graham Heathcote - a member of Tony Sanders' all-conquering line-up prior to serving as secretary, coach and manager - to join him on the sidelines. Explaining the thinking behind drafting in two iconic figures from Alty's past, Buzz said: 'I brought Robbie and Graham in because they have an affiliation with the club. When new players come in, they need to be made aware of what it means to play for Altrincham. There's no-one better than Robbie or Graham to do that. We need to instil it in them that we are battlers who are fighting for this club, and if they don't do the same, they don't get to wear the shirt.
