Dan and Joe had not seen each other in 25 years and feared they'd lost touch forever. Last weekend, they took their respective football teams to play a match in Bridlington - only to realise who the other coach was...
"When I saw the name of the away manager was someone called Dan Warren it just didn't occur to me that it would be my old friend”, Joe explained.
"I'd tried to look him up on social media in the past, without any luck, and considering I had no idea where he was now living I just assumed it wouldn't be him. "His name was also spelt differently on the managers list, which again made me think it wouldn't be him."I simply didn't put the dots together, on the day when I introduced myself and Dan turned around, it was an amazing feeling, I recognised him straight away, a hand shake became a hug, a wonderful moment.”"Seeing him on Sunday was almost like I'd only seen him last the day before”, he said.
"I was smiling from ear to ear and had to keep reminding myself we were playing football against his team."Apparently he did the same, but my name was spelt wrong so thought it can't be me.Joe and Dan are now looking forward to seeing each other in the reverse fixtures, after they shared the spoils at the weekend."Hopefully we will play each other again after the winter break at our ground”, Dan said.
