ROMSEY Town have sensationally sacked former Saints striker Nicky Banger - just 17 days into his role as commercial manager for the Sydenhams Wessex League Division 1 club.

Banger started his new post at the By-Pass Ground on January 1 and only last week in the Pink spoke about how he hoped to emulate clubs like Salisbury City and their rise up the non-league ranks at Romsey.

But things quickly turned sour with rumours spreading like wildfire throughout the non-league circuit that Banger was announcing himself as the future team manager while allegedly tapping up players in readiness for next season.

For full story and Nicky Banger quotes see today's Daily Echo and this weekend's Pink.
