“Martin Allen was the manager - people say different things about him but he was brilliant.

“They got the best out of me and it’s nice to see them back in the football league.

“I will be putting old sympathies aside and am looking forward to this game - I was injured when we played them before so it will be my first time.

“They are going to be fighting for their lives.
