Craig Eastmond was a teenage prodigy at Arsenal, with Champions League and Premier League starts before dropping down to League One Colchester. Managerial changes saw him fall out of favour and without a professional club, before Sutton United revived his career.

Glenn Hoddle: I’m really interested to meet you, not just because you have this great opportunity on Monday to play against your former club Arsenal.
