Josh Blake – Legend

Josh BlakeToday Josh is being be enrolled into the Legends Hall of Fame after 406 appearances for the Brakes over nine seasons, during which he scored an amazing 187 goals. We think everyone will agree that Josh is a very worthy candidate for Brakes Legend status.

There are so many highlights to mention regarding Blake’s time at Leamington, but a few that stand out are his four goal haul against Loughborough Dynamo on the day the Midland Alliance title was presented, the winning goal at Margate in the FA Trophy, and in the same season his two goals at Fisher Athletic in the same competition. As a player and a person Josh encapsulates all that is good about non league football.

Congratulations to Josh Blake – Brakes Legend!

Club Press Officer Paul Edwards writes:  “To begin the Legends project it seemed appropriate to introduce a player that anybody who has watched Brakes play since 2000 could identify with. Josh Blake has been one of the most popular players of the new era, and has been synonymous with our rise back to the Southern League Premier Division, and few would disagree that he deserves Legend status within the club.”
