Joao Plata is a Wild Mary!

In the first round of the BSL draft, Cumberland AC took Joao Plata. Tim Sherwood said, "We love this guy, nicknamed during trials 'Pocket Forward' because he's so small you can just put him in your pocket. That plays to his advantage, because he's strong and quick. We expect to run up the numbers with Plata leading the attack."
