Chimbonda Only At Blyth To Keep His Fitness In Check
By Sam Elliott
Pascal Chimbonda pulled on his boots for Blyth Spartans on Saturday afternoon.
But supporters have been told not to get too excited about seeing the former Tottenham player on their teamsheet.
Spartans played ambitions South Shields in their latest pre-season warm up match this weekend.
It was an exciting game which ended 2-2 - but much of the talk after was about Chimbonda.
But the club were quick to clarify that the Frenchman, 39, is unlikely to be signing up.
They tweeted: “It's been said on here a few times, but we repeat, Chimbonda is only with the club to keep up his fitness. #HowayBlyth”
So it doesn’t look like he will be walking out at Edgar Street on the opening day of the season.
Blyth travel to Hereford on August 4 as they kick off the National League North season against the Southern League champions.
