It's been a long time coming... but after 11 years of watching Harrison Dunk turn right backs into mincemeat at the Abbey, we finally got the chance to sit down with a true Cambridge United legend. In our chat we talk United giving him one last shot at professional football, making pasta for the players, Wes getting angry, and a brilliant game of football jenga at the end.
