Dan Martin
Dan is the director and the founder of Great-Save Goalkeeping Coaching and heads the coaching programme at the company. Having had to stop playing at an early age due to persistent injuries, Dan went into coaching to make a difference to others and to support and develop their journeys.

After experience in the goalkeeping department at AFC Bournemouth, he has learnt knowledge and skills from the professional game in order to enhance our own goalkeepers.

Milan Pidgley
Milan was a player we coached at the start of his journey when he was 9 and now grown up to have an interest in the coaching aspect of the game and experiencing developing players just like he was.
He continues to play and enjoy the game having spent a number of years competing at grassroots in the area we now coach.
Just like our goalkeepers we look forward to watching him grow and develop his coaching with us.
