Green Lions ready to roar!

Guernsey FC have been punching above their weight for many years. A small island with an accordingly limited catchment area, the quality of football played by the Green Lions since they entered the English football pyramid has always been at odds with their playing resources. Last season, however, they came very, very close to relegation from the Isthmian South East Division, and as such were amongst the favourites for a relegation battle in the forthcoming season- but perhaps that changed this morning, when the club made an announcement that has sent social media into overdrive.

Ross Allen is back!

With two hundred and thirty nine goals in two hundred and twenty six games, Allen is the club's record goalscorer, and the scourge of defences across Step Four and Five. He left the club in November 2017 to head to New Zealand, and returns as a Champions League winner, as his Team Wellington side won the Oceania Football Confederation Champions League. He kept up his exploits in front of goal on the other side of the world, too, scoring twenty six more.

Whether he'll be able to match the 54 goals he scored in winning the Non League Paper's National Game Golden Boot Award in 2014 remains to be seen, but he'll certainly frighten a few South East defences- and he might just persuade BetVictor to change their odds, too!
