Thanks to Zhang Enhua, who makes British know more about Chinese football. As well, Grimsby is well known in China due to Zhang's performance. As a friendly Chinese working in UK, I am pleased to see that.

Although Zhang is leaving, I am sure you will be succeed in the future because a lot of Chinese are supporting you!

Good Luck mate

Well what can I say, first ever Chinese player to play for us, first to score and boy were those important goals. To say that we had the Chinese captain was certainly something - all the best and when your playing in the premier (which you will) we might (!!) play against you.

China Crisis
Though I haven't seen you play, living in Bermuda makes that difficult; you appear to have been the one bright light in recent months. Such a shame you cannot find it possible to stay at Blundell Park. Good luck in future endeavours. Matt Westcott
