Wow. The fact that a former Premier League player wants to get involved with us is great. I saw him play for Chesham last season and he's still a very good player.

I take it there's no chance of him signing on? ;)

Fantastic signing, further evidence of our club's genuine commitment to youth development. Well done to those behind the scenes who made the arrangements.
