FORMER Chard youth player Ben Hamer, now with Leicester City, was back on the bench for the Premiership side’s 5-3 defeat of Manchester United on Saturday.

Seven days earlier Hamer had kept a clean sheet on his Premier league debut as Leicester beat Stoke City 1-0.

But he lost his place after the Foxes’ No1, Kasper Schmeichel, recovered from a knee injury.
