Chris Horton

Chris is an FA Level 1 football and futsal coach. He is also the MC & Match Event Co-Ordinator for Cambridge Futsal Club. In parallel, Chris voluntarily runs a Friday Night adult recreational futsal session at Chesterton Sports Centre for men and women in Cambridge. Chris currently works part-time driving a school minibus for a Cambridge-based private school after retiring from the Police (Sergeant) with 26 years of exemplary service in his local force. His greatest achievement is arguably having appeared on Blue Peter (as well as many other things which he will bore you about if you have the time!).

Chris is known on Twitter as @HippyHammer (in homage to his beloved West Ham United, having lived in Canning Town as a child in the late 60/70’s). He is not afraid to speak his mind or offer an opinion, ideas or suggestions without fear or favour.  Until recently he was the Welfare Officer & a Director of the National Futsal League CIC (now LNFS England) but retired from this post to help concentrate on growing interest & participation in futsal in Cambridgeshire via his Chairmanship of Cambridge Futsal Club. He is committed to developing an open, inclusive, enjoyable and member-led & supported local futsal club with close links to the community & businesses it serves. Chris is most interested in continuously working to grow the popularity of the game of futsal across England.
