Married At First Sight UK matchmaker Paul Brunson is making headlines for his latest venture – becoming the co-owner of a fifth-tier football club. Known for his role on the reality series, Paul has now turned his attention to Sutton United FC in south London.
Paul, who recently discovered his love for the game after attending a match earlier this year, has expressed his commitment to furthering diversity and inclusivity within football. He believes that football clubs are the centrepiece of a community and wants to ensure that more people, especially those of colour, feel welcome and safe attending matches.
In an effort to build a greater sense of community, Paul plans to invite front line workers like police officers and NHS staff to home games. He acknowledges that he may not be the typical football club owner, but he is proud to be part of the team and is dedicated to making a positive impact.
Paul joins three other co-owners at Sutton United FC, none of whom have an overall majority. The National League club, which was relegated at the end of last season, is set to face Tamworth on Saturday.
BBC Newsbeat has reached out to Sutton United FC for comment on Paul’s involvement with the club. Stay tuned for more updates on this unique partnership in the world of football.
