A GREYHOUND jointly owned by the directors and management team at Gravesend & Northfleet FC lines up in the Ladbroke Golden Jacket Final at Crayford tonight.

Fleet Flyer, which is owned by manager Andy Ford, his assistant Phil Handford, and four of the club directors, runs in a six-dog race at 9.45pm. It is being screened live on Sky TV.

Club secretary Roly Edwards said: "I don't know how the dog managed to get into this final but it's quite an achievement. It can take years for some owners to do this without ever getting close.
