Title: Troy Archibald-Henville

Although his name makes him sound like a middle class white public school rugby captain, we have infact signed a black football player. All worries that PDC is a racist have now been completely written off.

On a serious note, is he any good? He played for Spurs but then got released was mercilessly stolen from the pretty much anonymous Exeter. In my opinion: He is young and it's great to see PDC working to improve upon our squad, and he must have been good at some point as he played for Spurs.

What do you think?

He did not get released by Exeter, he did not take up their offer of a new contract as he wanted to play for a better club.

Dunno. Craig Taylor was released by Exeter before we got him from Dorchester Town. Do you mean him?

Someone asked him on twitter what his favourite cheese was.
He replied that he doesn't have one.

What if he doesn't like cheese?

Could mean that he adores all cheeses and can't choose a favourite. (phew)
