Another local lad hitting the headlines for his excellent footballing ability is teenager Joe Allen, who originally comes from Narberth.

On the same night as Digger was receiving his top award, the midfielder was making his on-loan debut for Wrexham from Swansea City. He made a dream debut, scoring in the 65th minute in his side’s 3-1 victory over York at the Racecourse.

It marked a winning start for newly installed Dragons’ boss Dean Saunders. Joe also came on as replacement for Wales under-21s as they agonisingly lost 3-2 at home against England.
