Steve Grover - Finance Director

I have been Finance Director of Middlesex Football Association (MFA) since 2011. 

My love of football has been with me since I was young attending my first game at the age of 8, my support of QPR has been passed down to me by family members and still continues today. 

One of the reasons that I joined MFA was to put something back into grassroots football. In my role I am responsible for the financial stability of MFA I am supported in this by the other directors and staff of MFA.
