When Andre Gray left Hinckley United for £30,000 five years ago, the non-League club had to use that fee to pay their players’ wages, including that of the man they had just sold.
Gray was on £200 a week back then and getting up to no good. Now, he is Watford’s £18.5million man on £55,000 a week, and wants to push them towards the top of the Premier League.
His advice for those aiming to copy what he and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy have done? Voluntarily drop down to non-League first and prove why you deserve to be playing at a higher level.
