As a proud member of the Football Writers' Association, Hitchin Nub News' Layth Yousif knows a decent player when he sees one.

Despite being a huge Arsenal supporter, when in the press box from Top Field to the Nou Camp he prides himself on being a truly impartial judge of the our beautiful game – and readily admits he voted for Liverpool captain Henderson for the FWA's recent player of the season – narrowly pipping Kevin De Bruyne, Virgil van Dijk and Adama Traore among a raft of others, to the highly-prestigious award.

But Hitchin youth are looking for Henderson's and De Bruyne's of their own - as plans for the new season get underway.
