Billy who? ;)

Three players with Diamonds connections helped Long Buckby claim the UCL Premier title today - Darren Watts, Fazel Koriya (ex-Triallist) and Russ Dunkley (ex-Youth team) - with Tim Wooding amongst the coaching staff.

Dunkley is an excellent player at that level, he has averaged a goal a game and he holds the ball up really well and creates chances for others.

I agree - he wins an awful lot in the air too, often against taller defenders.

.....and Dunkley is also on a big fat weekly `wage` at Buckby too, in common with the majority of their players.
Shame they didn`t spend a bit of that money on the ground!

I'm glad they beat Lynn to the title although it all seems a bit pointless given that they can't go up due to how bad that ground is. I don't suppose they feel that they need to improve facilities given that their crowds consist of one man and his dog :lol:

I agree i have been impressed with Dunkley when i have seen him play but if rumours i hear are true i wonder how many of these players will be at Long Buck next season

Where does all Long Buckby's money come from to pay all players a fat wedge at this lowly standard of football?
Is it a rich benefactor on an ego trip? If so, what's the point if the ground isn't being upgraded meaning the prospect of the club playing at a higher level is non-existent.
