John Sitton, a well-known ex-professional footballer from Chelsea, Millwall, Gillingham, and Leyton Orient, from 1976-1991 played in all four divisions of English professional football.

"In the highest division, mistakes were ruthlessly punished. As you climb through the divisions, you realise that everyone gets quicker and the window for success grows smaller. Your job is to strive for perfection and to always be better than you were." - John Sitton
