So did Kanu. 

And Steve Claridge.
if he's playing at National League level he must be fit enough and presumably had all the heart check ups at that level.
Dorking Wanderers aged 23 Ex Hawks.

Definitely worth a trial as will be on a Free.
The club spoke to him weeks ago, will need to up their wage offer to get him.

how much is a finisher worth? 
presumably he will get fit by playing too.
He is literally what the club have been saying they want a non league gamble with potential sell on value.

32 goals in 37 games in mens football is decent even if it’s national league.
Cowley says there’s no truth in this rumour.

Yep, AFC Portchester average crowd say 300 @ £5 = £1,800 every fortnight, plus bar/food/clubhouse  takings  - doesn't add up !!
Fckme maths is not your strong point 300 x £5 is 1500 not 1800 and £300 would be VAT.
Sometimes I wish that we were back in the dark ages of
Professionals and Amatuers. Corinthian Casuals and all that.
Gentlemen and players. C B Fry and all that
Apparently his wages is being paid by a sponsor
zero chance of signing his lad he has a heart onditon and wouldn`t pass  medical.

good luck to the boy,previously at Pompey and we converted this lad who is a goal machine to a  centre back!
