Jermaine Beckford Another Example

Leeds got him from Wealdstone Town I think.

Anyway...definitely non league!

He took a season to adjust, they loaned him out, he "clicked" at Scunthorpe when there and now is worth ?3-4 Million in todays market.

If we can sign someone, anyone, non-league, lower divisions, from Ireland who is able to do that and then sell them on for big money after 18 months-2 years, well, thats how we used to balance the books, it would sure help now if we could get into that again.
