Sherrif to be handed Captains Armband

Last updated : 30 July 2006 By Matthew Jones
New Australian signing Shane Candell-Sherrif has got the nod to skipper Rovers for their first game of the 2006/07 season, at home to Oldham Atheltic.

The centre-back, who is a former Leeds United player, skippered Rovers through-out their pre-season campaign and has the experience of having played for Australia in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

There is however one little stat that Tranmere Mad is desperate to find out. Have a Tranmere Rovers team ever been captained by a none British or Irishman in a competitive game? If you know, please email us the players name and when they played for Tranmere Rovers. Send your emails to matthewtrfc@msn.com. If any players are named, we will post a list of them on the site.
