Maidenhead United welcome back one of their most successful managers on Saturday when Alan Devonshire returns with Hampton & Richmond Borough.

The Magpies twice won the Berks & Bucks Cup, as well as promotion, under the former West Ham and England midfielder.

Commercial and community manager Mark Roach told BBC Radio Berkshire: "He is one of the most successful managers in Maidenhead's long history.

"We are looking forward to welcoming him back. He is held in high regard."

Maidenhead's current manager Johnson Hippolyte is warning Hampton they will be in for a tough ride, despite being 13 places behind Devonshire's men in the table.

Hippolyte said: "They're having a tremendous season considering they came up last year. When we played them at their place it was 1-1 and it was the most one-sided game we've had this year.

"We should have beaten them comfortably. If we can play like that again and take our chances then we can get three points."

With no Reading match on Saturday, Maidenhead hope to attract some of the Royals' supporters to York Road.
