Can be a legend like his dad

BOSS Matty Holmes believes frontman Jack Lovell has all the attributes to become a Wimborne Town legend – just like his father, Jason Lovell.

Lovell senior helped Magpies win the FA Vase in 1992 and was a hugely popular figure at Cuthbury during his playing days under Alex Pike.

A prolific marksman and fierce competitor, he played for a host of clubs including Bashley, Poole and Havant and was also linked with Leeds and Aston Villa during the late 1980s.

As a youngster, son Jack cut his teeth in the Sydenhams Wessex League before stepping into Southern League West with Wimborne at the start of last season

And the versatile 24-year-old, who can operate up front and in midfield, has firmly established himself as a first-team regular this season.

Salisbury-born Lovell has started all but one of Wimborne’s 28 league games and netted nine times, including five in their past eight.

He bagged doubles in Magpies’ emphatic wins over Bishop's Cleeve and Cirencester before paving the way for their 3-1 victory at Larkhall five days ago
