Comedian and club director Alex Horne has launched a documentary series chronicling the journey of Chesham United football club during the 2025-26 season. The series, titled *All In: Chesham United*, streams new episodes weekly on YouTube, offering viewers an inside look at the club’s activities across its men’s and women’s teams, as well as the volunteers and supporters who contribute to the Non-League football community.
Horne, known for creating the BAFTA-winning series *Taskmaster* and fronting the comedy band The Horne Section, has been a director at Chesham United since 2022. He says the documentary aims to showcase the club’s inclusive spirit and the work behind the scenes that often goes unnoticed. “Our unofficial motto at the club is One Club, so it’s trying to show it’s for everyone—the youth teams, the women’s, the men, people behind the bar,” he explained.
The series has garnered strong engagement, with the first 13 episodes approaching half a million views. Horne noted the positive reception from players and staff, who have embraced the presence of cameras despite initial reservations. The documentary captures candid moments, including heated interactions during matches and training, which were included at the players’ and managers’ consent to present an authentic view of club life.
Chesham United’s men’s team, coached by joint managers James Duncan and Michael Murray, compete in the National League South following promotion to Step 2 two years ago. The women’s team is also featured prominently within the series. Horne highlighted the talent across both squads, expressing admiration for their skill and commitment despite the challenges of balancing football with other employment. He said many players hold multiple jobs and face financial uncertainty, reflecting the realities of Non-League football.
Beyond the pitch, the documentary aims to celebrate the community of Chesham, Buckinghamshire. Horne emphasized the club’s role in fostering local pride amid broader economic challenges affecting the town’s high street and amenities. “It’s quite a typical suburban place... but we have got a really good community. We’ve got good people—good pubs, still—and a good football club,” he said.
Recent developments at Chesham United include a new state-of-the-art grass pitch laid over the summer, and the club’s continued push for sporting progress. Horne expressed hopes for another notable FA Cup run in the current season, recalling the excitement of reaching the third round two years ago when Chesham faced Lincoln City.
New episodes of *All In: Chesham United* premiere every Sunday at 7 p.m. on YouTube, providing a weekly glimpse into the unfolding stories of a club emblematic of the passion and challenges inherent in English Non-League football.
