Johnson adds another football shirt to his collection - but what luck will it bring for National League club?

  From the Sunday Telegraph: Mr Johnson with the Wealdstone shirt - note the number 10 (the address in Downing Street to which he hopes to return)

HAVE Vanarama National League club Wealdstone FC failed to learn the lesson of Grimsby Town FC?

Two years ago, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was presented with a Mariners team shirt - whereupon Town went into a losing spiral that saw them relegated from the Football League.

As reported in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Johnson, now no longer PM, last week visited the ground of Wealdstone, which is in his constituency, to take receipt of another team shirt to add to his collection.

But what  will be the consequences for the club? Will the Stones, as they are known, suffer a similar relegation fate to the Mariners?

Only time will tell.

 

                                                              

Come on your Mariners! Mr Johnson receives the Grimsby Town shirt from MPs Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) and Lia Nici (Great Grimsby)
