Steve Darby was raised on old school values in the shadow of the Kop. He bathed in an outside tub, stood on a milk crate on terraces at Anfield and Goodison Park, and went on to spend five decades in football remaining true to himself - and the players he coached. From Bahrain to Tasmania and many points in between, Steve wanted football to be fund for his players and for his players to use football to learn more about life. Along the way, he taught himself Arabic and Malay, dine with sultans and kings, picked up a few medals, upset a few football and actual politicians, and became one of the most successful and effective foreign football coaches in South East Asia.
Antony doesn't remember a time when football wasn't part of his life, but he also isn't entirely sure how it all started.¿His earliest memories are of being given Arsenal books and programmes in the early 1970s, listening to the BBC World Service commentary from his home in Belgium on a Saturday afternoon, whilst mentally kicking every ball as he was doing so.¿Antony attended his first football match in 1973, and travelled on a double-decker Southdown bus to watch Brighton play Plymouth Argyle with his father and older brother-just a few weeks after returning to England to live. This was the Brighton of Brian Clough though, a fact he was unaware of at the time. Antony says his abiding memory was not of being able to get a programme. Though it took more than 20 years to finally track one down, he understood that football was about memories.¿¿From supporting his passion-Arsenal, and his home side-Aldershot, from a young age, the next logical step for Antony was to watch some football overseas, a past-time that began in 1984 in continental Europe, one that continued for more than 30 years starting with Australia , where he adopted St George as his team-to Asia where he lived for a while in Thailand, then a brief return to England and Germany before settling in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, where he started the popular blog, Jakarta Casual in 2006.He returned to live in the UK in 2018.
