Histon

With a few quid behind him no one should write off the infamous talents of legendary ex Lincoln boss John Beck now in charge at Histon.

The appointment of Russell Hands as Chairman on July 29th has  boosted  John Beck’s budget, which had been rumoured to be about £125 per week under the former Chairman. To their credit Histon finished 18th last year and under the legendary Beck will undoubtedly continue to punch above their weight.

Prior to the new regime Beck had  only managed to tempt  free agents Zac Mills, Lewis Taaffe and Jim Stevenson; however armed with funds four loans should go through prior to kick off.  Romone McCrae (Midfield) and Danny Mills (Forward) are on the way from  Peterborough Utd; and Lee Wootton (Midfield) and Oluwafemi Ilesanmi (Defence) are on the way from  Dagenham & Redbridge. Beck is also awaiting international clearance for summer signings Remy Clerima, Sekou Diarra and Mamadou Gomes.
