When Antoine Semenyo was introduced for his World Cup debut as a late substitute against Portugal, there was one man back in the South West that couldn't have been prouder.
David Hockaday has been there since the beginning. From taking a lost, slightly overweight 16-year-old midfielder from London to putting him in accommodation in Swindon and eventually watching him on the grandest stage of them all.
It's a journey that has been long and arduous for Semenyo. From having doors slammed in his face as a scholar at Fulham, the Bristol City striker is now reaping his own rewards for his hard work and dedication over the last six years.
