Byron Webster, captain of Bromley, gives Solihull Moors goalkeeper Nick Hayes a sidelong glance and a smile before converting his penalty kick and turning to face his triumphant teammates.
In the 132-year history of Bromley, he has just led his team to the English Football League for the first time. In Wembley. Coolness on a human scale.
The fact that he accomplished it in the National League promotion final while wearing an EFL captain’s armband only strengthened his sense of unwavering confidence and destiny.
“The keeper said to me, ‘I know which way you’re going,’ and I thought, ‘You don’t because I don’t even know which way I’m going yet,’” Webster informed the news.
