BULLARD TO GIVE BEEF TO THE TANNERS?

Following a youth career at West Ham United and then Gravesend and Northfleet, Jimmy Bullard went on to play for Peterborough, Wigan, Hull, Fulham, Ipswich and MK Dons, retiring at the ripe old age of 37.

He has since been starring in "Soccer AM" where he has taken on various training drills with a different club each week. Add to this an appearance in "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" and of course that amusing acting role when Phil Brown booted his underperforming team out of the changing room v Manchester City when he had nothing to say to them. Jimmy mimicked PB to everyone's amusement as part of a subsequent goal celebration.

Always the joker, Jimmy now has taken on the role of Ryman Premier Leatherhead's manager. Presently second to bottom in the division, the team from Fetcham Grove need somebody to put a smile of the club members' faces. We shall see who has the last laugh!

The Tanners were founded in 1909 playing friendlies as Leatherhead Rose whilst Leatherhead United formed in 1924 playing at Fetcham Grove. After the war the two clubs merged and if you can remember the Leatherhead Lip, Chris Kelly, the club has had some terrific Cup runs in the past, including the 4th Round of the FA Cup in 1974-5, two Amateur Cup Semi-Finals between 1971 and 1974, an FA Trophy Final in 1977-8.
