AUGUST 15 2021: Belmont Banter Episode 75 Will Graham…the Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.
This week we have Will Graham who tells us about his dad’s long connection with Tyler Hill and how his football career was cut short by injury, how he then got into coaching and lots more besides. Will mentions lots of players and managers from his playing days and how his life is now taken up with coaching the youth, which is his passion. Will goes on to tell us how a phone call from a friend ended up with him doing a bit of scouting as a favour which in turn has turned into his business… Elite Premier Scouting. His connection with Whitstable Town football club has gone full circle since his playing days he coached for Town and tells us that Tyler Hill Youth has recently aligned themselves to Whitstable Town which he feels will be good for both parties. We enjoyed chatting to Will Graham and we are sure that you will enjoy this podcast, and is another great listen from Belmont Banter Podcast.

AUGUST 8 2021: Belmont Banter Episode 74 Gary Carter…the Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.
This week we have Gary Carter who is the youth team manager for the Whitstable Town U13 Boys with us on Belmont Banter as we learn about Gary’s family involvement with the club and I do mean ‘the whole Carter family’. It started after his career in local and Sunday football came to an end but he felt he had to give back to the game he loves. Like a lot of fathers with football mad son’s he took Archie to a youth training session where then coming up for eight decided he wanted to play football at Whitstable. As son Archie’s interest grew Gary became more and more involved in Whitstable’s Youth section and was offered the opportunity to take his coaching badges. He started with the same group of boys that Archie was with; beginning with the U8’s through to today where Gary runs the girls U12’s and boys U13’s. This led to him becoming involved with the first team after the youth section merged with the main club which now boasts 27 teams from youth to senior (and counting). His wife Mandy is the registration secretary for the junior club responsible for almost twenty girls and boy’s teams in the youth section. Daughter Abbey who manages the girls U10’has also just started ‘shadowing’ the club’s physio Alice at training and on match days as she has chosen sports science and sports phycology as her career. It really is a family affair.

Sunday Aug 01, 2021
AUGUST 1 2021: Belmont Banter Episode 73 Carl Laraman…the Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.Delighted that this week we have former Charlton and Arsenal Coach Carl Laraman with us on Belmont Banter as he takes us on his football journey which started in Australia. At the age of eight Carl’s parents relocated to the UK setting up home in Luton not far from Chatham where vat school he played football for the first time as at that time sport in Australia was all about Aussie Rules Football and Cricket. In the UK he was very soon played for the district side and was spotted by Crystal Palace which was where his development really started. The chance to hit the big time passed him by not least when at a very young age he had the chance to go and play abroad, but turned it down. As far as local football was concerned he flourished at Sittingbourne, then at Sheppey, which he rates as his best time in football, also having a brief spell at Whitstable Town. There were a number of other Kent Clubs he had spells at until at twenty-six and injury cut short his football career, which is when he had the chance to take up coaching. After taking his badges it finally took him to working for ten years at Charlton then for fifteen Years at Arsenal under Liam Brady and Arsen Wenger. What a listen…
Another interesting chat to add to the long list of ex-players and managers from around Kent.

This week we catch up with one of Kent’s longest serving and much travelled ‘kit men’ in Ade Hubbard who is Whitstable's current ‘man with the magic sponge’. Although these days his role is more about looking after the payer’s kit and making sure the on training and match days everything is in order, right down to the tape player’s use. He talks about his football life after spells playing school and local football where he played in the same team as Jim Ward, then years later he was kit man for Jim at Ramsgate and at Maidstone United, both clubs enjoyed great success while he was with them. He says that in his job, it’s the nearest he can get to actually playing the game as it’s such a big part of his life.

JULY 4 2021
Belmont Banter Episode 69 EFREM EBBLI the Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.
Efrem Ebbli, played as a goalkeeper who came over to England from Italy in his 30’s after a really good career playing in a number of Division 3 and 2 sides at the top level in Italy. He returned to Italy after 5 years in England after playing for Dover, Herne Bay, Deal and Sittingbourne to coach in the Italian Leagues as a goalkeeper coach at the very top level. Efrem holds the record at Herne Bay when he kept a clean sheet in league matches for over 600 minutes without conceding a goal, the record still stands today as Jack Delo missed breaking it by 60 minutes. He was nicknamed ‘The ITALIAN STALLION’ by one of the Medway papers after his acrobatic display in a match playing for Sittingbourne. It was difficult chatting with Efrem as we were not able to use Zoom and the quality of the audio was not up to put usual standards but it was great to catch up with him.

JUNE 13 2021 Belmont Banter Episode 66 Steve Marshall (first of two) the Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.
Steve Marshall is one of those players who is known all over Kent as he has either scored against your team, or if you’re lucky enough like Whitstable Town were, scored goals for you. It’s that simple. Born in Peterborough Steve started playing at very young age, he went with his father who played in goal for a local side and Steve st times used to sit in the dressing room of a men’s side, so as he says with all the ‘chat going on’ he had to grow up quickly. Played for his school side and at 15 played junior football at Peterborough United, then at U18’s played for Baker Perkins who were a really good works team in the area who had great facilities in a league that was the same standard as the Kent League. He then moved down to London and was then approached by John Roseman who was manager of Sheppey United. That just the start of Steve’s amazing football journey as he went on to play for Margate, Maidstone, Deal amongst many others
