Harry Hugo, the bloke who revolutionised Farnham Town, has revealed he decided to invest £197,400 in a Step 3 to 6 club after nearly spending the money on a Ferrari instead.
He studied all clubs within a reasonable travel distance of his house and worked out a top five. Number one target was Leatherhead, also the closest team to his house. He spent four months in and around the club but no deal was done. It's not clear whether he walked away or Leatherhead said no, it is clear he felt they didn't have the vision to see Harry was offering more than just money. He approached Farnham, who were second on his list. The rest is history.
Leatherhead's loss was certainly Farnham's gain.
