Oliver Pays Tribute to Boreham Wood FC in Speech

Sir Oliver in Parliament

Sir Oliver has paid tribute to local football club, Boreham Wood FC, in a recent speech in Parliament. 

He said: 

"As I have said to this House before, English football is a cherished cultural and soft power that ranks alongside our greatest museums, galleries and stately homes. Indeed, I saw that again this Friday at my brilliant local club, Boreham Wood FC, led by the indefatigable Danny Hunter. Three generations of his family have sustained that club, sustaining community life, providing education, nurturing us through covid and facilitating the next generation of stars to rise all the way to the top of the premier league." 

Sir Oliver gave the speech in the Second Reading of the Football Governance Bill, which can be read in full here.
