 Home @-@ town club Crawley Town 's manager Francis Vines hoped to sign Wormull , describing him as a good all @-@ round player who " can play in the middle or wide right and passes the ball well , as well as being useful with set @-@ pieces . He is also good in the tackle " , capable of strengthening an already strong midfield . They were unable to match the offer – believed to be £ 800 a week – from Conference South club Hornchurch , dubbed the " Chelsea of the Conference " because they had a well @-@ paid full @-@ time professional squad despite playing only in the sixth tier of English football . A back injury restricted his Hornchurch appearances , and he had not played for several weeks when , in November 2004 , the owner 's business collapsed , the players ' pay cheques were stopped , and most of the squad left .
