Frustrated Gray left jaded by Albania debacle

Jaded Hatters striker Andre Gray admitted England C’s shambolic trip to Albania last week did eventually catch up with him at the Abbey Stadium, writes Mark Wood.

A massive downpour left the first pitch England C were due to play on Wednesday night unplayable and they never even reached a second suggested venue, while ironically the senior England team’s game in Poland was also postponed because of the weather – despite the stadium having a retractable roof.

You would never have guessed as the 21-year-old was in electric form on Saturday, regularly tearing Cambridge United’s defence to shreds as he scored the first and laid on the second.

He said: “I think Albania took it out of everyone. One of the Cambridge boys came as well and it was a long few days for us.”
