OLD BOY
From the Northern Echo we learn that "Former Darlington [and Altrincham] striker Chris Senior (right) is to play in the club’s Non-League Challenge friendly game in July. Senior scored the dramatic late winner in the 2011 FA Trophy final at Wembley, a moment that means he retains a place in the heart of all Quakers supporters.
'I’m really looking forward to it,' said Senior, who is now first team masseur at Sheffield Wednesday. 'My eyes lit up when I realised 8who else will be on the field...It’s also a chance for my son to see me play football in the flesh!' The game will be played on Sunday, July 29 at Blackwell Meadows and will see Darlington play against a team of former Premier League players. It is part of the club’s reward for winning the Marathonbet #NonLeagueChallenge, which was a competition to find the best goal celebration in non-league football."
