Maidstone debtor Neil Harris, the fired Gillingham manager, was hailed as an inspiration to Joe Gbode during his career.
At Priestfield, Harris gave Gbode his first-team debut, and one of his final decisions as Gills manager was to approve a loan transfer for Gbode to the Stones for a month.
The 18-year-old was taken aback to hear of Harris’ termination and would always be grateful for what he accomplished for him.
Striker Gbode remarked, “It’s been a really strange week.” It came as a huge surprise.
He took the time to get to know me, provided excellent coaching, and provided me with a wealth of advice that will help me in my future endeavours.
“I owe a lot to him since he’s been a really motivating person in my football career thus far.
