Jebu to represent England

Last updated : 07 July 2007 By Millersmad Staff
The former striker has been with the club for much of its existance and has fulfilled virtually every role in that time including bench warmer and water carrier, where he excelled and as a result he has been selected for the inaugral England v Scotland game that will serve as a Friday night appetiser for this year's Worldnet.

Jebu, widely regarded as the 12th best right back in the IFA put himself forward and was duly selected by IFA bigwig Juzza capping a remarkable year for the utility man. The number 10 has been preparing tirelessly for his big day by running around Herringthorpe Playing Fields until gone 10.30pm and will cut short his holiday in Lincolnshire to make the game. this is a second instance of Jebu willing to put his holiday plans to one side as in 2004 he investigated returning home early from his Cyprus retreat as the Millers were short in numbers for their league game against Farnbrough. It is believed that such committment is the reason behind his selection.

Having had a year off from the organisational side of the team, which actually coincided with the club's most successful run ever where they sealed a league and Worldnet double, Jebu has been back in the fold this season aiding rookie boss Paul Elliott and Jebu offered his assistance to the running of the England team.

Rumours were emerging from IFA Headquarters that a managerial dream team of Jebu and Steve from Preston had been selected for the game but they have since been quashed as a large percentage of England players had reportedly investigated their family tree looking for a Scottish relative in the wake of the leaked rumours.

Jebu will be hoping to avoid injury and be a part of the Millers squad as they look to claim a second Worldnet title on the Saturday and Sunday. Steve Burns is also in the England squad.
