A newspaper interview with 67 year old Tony Nash in February 2012 revealed that Tony Nash had served football for over 50 years, receiving a medal from the Football Association in recognition of his work.

Formerly a player with Chatteris, his accomplishments include founding the Peterborough 7 District Junior Alliance League and serving on the Peterborough Football Association, Northants FA Development Committee, Peterborough Sunday Morning League and the Peterborough Football Liaison Committee. He was also chair of Northant's youth committee when they won the FA National County Youth Cup in 2001.

He worked with Kit Carson, scouting for Norwich and unearthed Danny Mills, Andy Marshall and Julian Joachim.

Nash was the first man to spot the considerable talents of future England full-back Danny Mills when he lined up in a representative schools game in Peterborough as a nine year-old against the cream of the city’s crop. Mills was from the Norwich area but had slipped under the radar of his local club until impressing in front of Nash. “I remember it well,” said Nash. "The game was down at Dogsthorpe School and I knew instantly that he was going to be a bit special. I spoke to the teacher in charge of the team of schoolboys from the Norwich area and he pointed me in the direction of Danny’s parents. We spoke on the Saturday, established Danny was interested in going to Norwich and had him in at the club the following week. It is obviously a nice feeling to spot a player who goes on to have such a good career.

Nash explained: “I spotted Andy playing as an Under 12 and he has gone on to be a very good goalkeeper for a number of years.

“I also got Julian into Norwich but they ended up rejecting him. He has still gone on to have a really good career though.”
