TENIOLA CAN YET HIT THE JACKPOT

STRIKER turned game show star Alex Teniola Iwants to make up for missing out on making TV history by spearheading Bowers & Pitsea to safety.

The 32-year-old appeared on ITV's relaunched Deal or No Deal last week and, as fate had it, would have become the first contestant to win the £100,000 jackpot if he had held his nerve.

But the former Heybridge Swifts, Hashtag United and Cray Wanderers frontman accepted an earlier offer from the banker and instead walked away with £10,520.

Now, having missed out on a life-changing pay day, Teniola is determined to earn his corn by playing a pivotal role on the pitch as Bowers aim to maintain their Step 3 status under the tutelage of newly-appoint-managers pointed Joe Flowers and Luke Wilson.
