December 11, 2011: Bideford's Got Talent

There seems to be a sense of magic at Bideford AFC this season with the First Team topping the Southern League Division One South and West, the Reserve Team topping the North Devon Gazette Senior League and of course the thriving Youth section. Perhaps that isn't surprizing with local performer Merlin Cadogan as a supporter and lending a hand with teaching the youngsters a few tricks! The well known local entertainer and star of Britain's Got Talent has been helping out with goalkeeper coaching and popped in to share a few special moves with the ball.

"It is a pleasure to help the youth section of Bideford AFC and there are some very talented players. They are all enjoying their football playing for the town and have got off to a great start."

Merlin is currently appearing in Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs at the Queen's Theatre Barnstaple until 2nd January 2012.
