Maldon and Tiptree gave a debut to Colchester United loanee Hakeem Sandah in defeat at Wroxham on Saturday, and the forward played the entire ninety minutes but couldn't help his side salvage a point.
Hakeem began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, where he was part of the Academy setup. He then moved on to Championship side Huddersfield Town, playing for the Under seventeen and Under nineteen sides, before moving on to Colchester earlier this season.
As a Colchester fan site on X pointed out, the eighteen year old ended the match playing alongside Jamie Cureton, thirty years his senior! Sorry for pointing that out, Jamie!
