Macclesfield Town fan 'buys' first team place

A Macclesfield fan has had his dream come true by playing to the club. James Gorfin has had a week as a professional and played in Town’s first ‘Pay to Play’ guest against Stoke City on Saturday.

40 year old James spent a week being put through his paces on John Askey's squad, taking part in sprint drills, shooting practice, short-sided matches before playing against the Potters. He paid £10,000 to play with the team as part of a fundraising scheme for the cash strapped cub.
