Last night I started a new game with Barnet, and needed some fresh firepower upfront, after loaning in some youngsters from Villa, Arsenal and Charlton to shore up my midfield and backline.

Looking through the free agents, there he was. Dean Sturridge. I brought himk in against the advice of my assistant, Ian Hendon. He's over the hill, he's past it they said. Super Dean answered his critics with a hattrick on his debut against TNS.
