Holder, Phil I was lucky enough to meet Phil after watching the England vs Australia match at Twickenham stadium on the 13th of November 2021. Me and my parents were waiting for a taxi and starting chatting to Phil. He was there in his car in front of us. What a nice man never forget the stories he told me and my parents and that he was best mates with Harry Redknapp. He was very interesting and kindly gave me £5 as it was my birthday on the day. I will keep this money and know that a legend gave it to me. Thank You

Holder, Phil I went to John Kelly school and remember playing against Phil (copper) he was head and shoulders above everyone, but only in football, weird how he relies on copper for relief.

Holder, Phil Phil coached the Royal Artillery team at Woolwich on an ad hoc basis when we played in a triangular competition against the Royal Engineers, the REME and the R Signals usually held at Aldershot. Phil was a real licensure with many great idea to motivate the team. His great sense of humour endeared him to the RA team who responded totally to his coaching methods. I was lucky enough to enjoy Phil's company socially and on away games and he kindly invited my son and I to Brentford and introduced us to Steve Perryman and his many Sisters! He the presented a signed football to my son. Sadly l then left the army and lost touch with Phil but tried to follow his career through Google. Incidentally he was also a smashing golfer and l was reading in a Harry Rednapp book (a man walks on a pitch) when Harry mentioned that Graham Souness had great memories when he joined Spurs and Phil and Steve were the jokers in the pack amongst the younger players.My life and the Roal Artillery benefiting greatly from knowing Phil. I hope that Phil and his family are well and happy.
