As they prepare to play in the FA Cup extra preliminary round, AFC Croydon Athletic are dreaming big thanks to their high-profile co-owners.
On paper, AFC Croydon Athletic's game at Camberley Town in the Combined Counties League on 9 April seemed a pretty unremarkable affair.
"Wilf had a few days off so decided to fly over and watch us at Camberley," Rams manager Jermaine McGlashan says. "I always get an extra 10% out of my players when Wilf, Stormzy or Danny are watching. The boys give an extra bit more." "We were probably in the top five in terms of playing budget in the league we have just won promotion from. The league we are joining, we're probably in the top 10."AFC Croydon Athletic won promotion at the end of last season after being 17th in the table when Jermaine McGlashan was appointed manager in October 2023Four years ago, AFC Croydon Athletic winger Pierrick was playing with Zaha at Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson.
