Erling Haaland is breaking records, but a dentist approaches him

The chants in the stadium "Edi, Edi" are not in the "Emirates". And it's not about Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah. But they come from a more modest stadium such as "Thatcham Toën's Stacatruc Stadium". And it is about the club not part of the English professional football league, Walton & Hersham.

But the public shows support for the icon of their team, striker Edi Simon, who this season in England has set a record and made the English media write a lot about him, after scoring 4 triples in a row in the championship and inspiring the amateur team to a third consecutive ascent.

The 26-year-old, who was once in Brentford's academy and dreamed of a professional career, is now a part-time footballer and full-time dentist. But the attacker in question is the man who is making the patients of Walton smile, but also the residents of the city where he lives. When he signed in the middle of last season, he had no idea that he would become a community idol.

But his rapid rise has helped him turn into a very popular character in the country. The English club, who have the youngest owners in English football, having been run by a group of 19-year-old students since 2019, have a Tik Tok account and an international fan base, while their matches are broadcast around the world. . Walton also broadcasts matches abroad thanks to social platforms.

"I was in the right place to finish off some of the chances the boys created," said the amateur version of Erling Haaland, who has scored 43 goals in all competitions this season, 7 less than Manchester City's Norwegian. But Saimon started the season late due to an injury.

Much was written about him in March as he scored four hat-tricks in a row, the first time such a feat had been achieved in the top 8 divisions of English football. He also scored five goals in a game against Merstham on Easter Monday, which took his tally to 27 goals in just 14 league games. "Dentistry is a tradition in our family.

I don't think my colleagues know much about how invested I am in football. I have always told them that I go to train after work, but one day I told them that the television cameras will come to film us and it was a big surprise for them. Now they all follow me and it's a very nice emotion".
