James Brown was another of the Pools players to visit the Study Support Centre last week when he joined in a class with Y8 pupils from Manor College of Technology.

As with David Foley, Gary Liddle and Leon McSweeney before him, Brown was grilled with a selection of tough questions from pupils.

The forward revealed to the class that he has found the game at Colchester United this season the toughest so far due to The U's strong and physical approach.

And after the footballing questions came the more lighthearted teasers, with Brown telling pupils he is only occasionally recognized by fans when out and about.

Once again all players made a big difference to pupils' lessons and encouraged all of them to continue working hard in class.
