On whether any Premier League stars could make an appearance in July, Drummy joked the owner will have to get his cheque book out and said: “I think we have got Millwall.

“I’ve spoke to Neil Harris (head coach). I think Chelsea are probably already booked up, I have come in late on that.

“Maybe next year with those contacts (I have), but I am really pleased to get Millwall and we are going to do Three Bridges and the local clubs.

“I want a connection with the local community clubs, we want to help them. When I was at Chelsea, we went to Wealdstone, Hendon and St Albans, the clubs I played as a player, to give a gate receipt.
