Corinthian-Casuals vs Merstham Matchday Programme

“Other clubs aren’t like this”
Juevan
Spencer
After 264 competitive games for Corinthian-Casuals, Juevan
Spencer knows the club better than most. The right-back
spoke to Dominic Bliss to tell what makes the famous London
amateurs so special and casts his mind back to the team’s historic trip
to Brazil in 2015…
You are now in your second spell at Corinthian-Casuals, so
something must have attracted you back last summer. What is so
special about the club?
I feel more at home here, especially with the manager we have, as
well as the fans and the players, so I felt comfortable coming back
here. I know the identity of this club, there is a lot of history and I
was part of that when I went to Brazil. So, I think that drew me back
here, and obviously the lads in the dressing room and the manager
brought me back as well.
He’s a good manager and a good coach. I’ve learned a lot more from
working with him than I have from some other coaches that I’ve been
with. Just knowing that he was still here made me want to come back
even more at the start of the season.
Tell us a bit more about your life in football up to this point…
As a youth, me and my friend went to Crystal Palace for a trial
together, and he got in, but I didn’t. That was Wilfried Zaha – we grew
up together. After that, I went to Whyteleafe and then I moved to AFC
Wimbledon when I was at Under-16s level.
