Managers deserve greater support and patience to progress their careers. Non-League
football has been recognised as the perfect breeding ground for players who develop the
right attitudes for the task ahead, but those players are learning from some of the game’s
most aspiring young managers. Like Vardy, there are some golden nuggets out there.
Social Media Hits Non-League by Hugo Varley.
Are Hashtag United leading a new era in football? The arrival of Hashtag United in Step Six
this season has potentially heralded the start of a footballing revolution. The North London
club, who are in their inaugural season in Non-League, were founded by Youtube blogger
Spencer Owen and boast a social media following which rivals many
of the top teams around the globe.
With over 400,000 subscribers on Youtube, more than European
giants Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan,
Hashtag are promoting a unique way of following a football team.
The club post regular behind the scenes clips onto social
media throughout the week, while each match is
documented through a stylish video, featuring highlights,
footage from inside the changing rooms and interviews with players and coaches.
When it comes to the footballing side of things, the team have also shown that they are
anything but a group of fame hungry prima donnas.
Managed by former East Thurrock boss Jay Devereux, Hashtag have spent much of the season near the
top of the Thurlow Nunn Division One South table and are targeting an instant promotion this summer.
There is no doubt that the club divides opinion within the footballing community and in
many respects they represent a far cry from the humble traditions of Non-League.
However, ultimately if Hashtag are inspiring people on the other side of the world to wake
