Jeff King (football)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeff King is a football manager and financier.

King, a former Canvey Island F.C. player, took over ownership at Canvey in 1992 and both managed and funded the club's progress through the divisions between 1992 and 2006, where he left them in the Football Conference. [1] [2]

In 2006, King announced that he was terminating his association with Canvey and instead took over at Isthmian League Premier Division Chelmsford City F.C.. [3]

He has been refered to as the 'HRH Sultan of Canvey' or 'Supreme Chancellor of the Federal island of Canvey' by many islanders. This is because of his vast power in the development of housing on the island within his family.

He was voted one of the most unpopular poeple in the south east of England
