Keanu's So Keen To Move Back Up

FOREST Green, the self-confessed Little Club on the Hill, are still finding their feet in the Football League, growing little by little with every passing day.

The Gloucestershire villagers, who rose from Non-League after being transformed by green energy magnate Dale Vince, became the EFL’s newest team following their promotion from the National League last term.

And their aspiration to rise through the ranks remains as strong as ever.

Winger Keanu Marsh-Brown has similar ambitions.

The 25-year-old, who has been at the New Lawn since 2015, was handed a glimpse of the big time when he was just a teenager. The jet-heeled wide man was part of Fulham’s show-stopping run to the 2009-10 Europa League final.

Marsh-Brown, then a 17-year old in his first season after signing professional forms, was on the bench for some of the Londoners’ finest European adventures under Roy Hodgson.

That included both legs of their stunning aggregate triumphs over Shakhtar Donetsk and Juventus en route to being edged out by Atletico Madrid in the final.
