DARYL McMahon isn’t looking for Common People when it comes to his Hornchurch recruitment this summer.
The Urchins romped to the Isthmian Premier title last season and preparation for the National League South is well under way.

And the former Ebbsfleet United, Macclesfield Town and Dagenham & Redbridge boss knows only the right characters will do when it comes to strengthening.
