Worksop Town 5-0 King’s Lynn Town (National League North) So, Harry Kane has won the Balon d’Or. I remember sitting at Wembley around seven or eight years ago watching him play, thinking to myself ‘he’s the best striker I’ve ever seen in an England shirt’ and wondering why he gets little recognition despite his ridiculous goals returns? I suppose the longer he’s been doing his business, the harder it has been to ignore, a deserved award for a humble and elegant footballer tha

Buxton 2-2 Worksop Town (National League North) It’s been a while since I have been up here, I previously stated that it might even be the highest ground in England, although I have since found out ‘unofficially’ there are 34 football pitches even higher up the hills than Silverlands (which stands apparently 1,027ft above sea level), the Wearhead Ground in Durham at 1,594 feet is home of Wearhead United and said to be the highest of all, a good 567 feet above the hilltop home

Loughborough Dynamo 1-2 Worksop Town (FA Trophy Third Qualifying Round) I’m back at an old stomping ground of mine today. During the 2015/16 season I spent three or four months coaching at Loughborough Dynamo, joining a team in a relegation dogfight, leaving the club, still, in a relegation dogfight. It all ended slightly sour. Thankfully the club survived that year and have ever-since, held their own at step 4 of the non-league system. But it’s a while since I’ve been back…
