NICK HAMILTON
CHAIRMAN | AFA REPRESENTATIVE​

⚽ Old Latymerians
📧 [email protected]
📞 07956-269-866
​ ​
Nick followed in the footsteps of his father Ian at Old Latymerians, playing his first game for the club in 1979. He played as a left-back and, by his own admission, was no superstar, playing in the 7th XI - if picked at all! His variable skills, however, were in contrast to his abilities as an administrator and he joined the club committee in 1981, serving as Referees' and Results Secretary until 1990, as Match Secretary from 1990-1997 and then as Club Secretary from 1997-2000.

He joined the League Committee in 1991 and in 1999 became Results Secretary, as position he held until 2008. Nick ushered in a new era by computerising the job and handwritten results sheets became a thing of the past. in 2018 Nick took over from Ian Hunter as Chairman of the SAL, having served as Vice Chair for three years.

In addition to his work for the SAL Nick is an active member of the AFA Board to which he was elected in 2012. He initially joined the AFA ranks in 1997 as a League Representative, being elected as a Vice-President from 2005-2012 and then as a Life Vice-President thereafter. He has served on the Referees Committee since 1997, the Development Committee from 1997-1999 and the Discipline Committee since 2009.

Nick is also an AFA referee having taken charge of numerous cup finals down the years.
