Cherries: Marcus is backing Bradders' bid
FORMER Cherries and Huddersfield star Marcus Browning is throwing his weight firmly behind the Dean Court club as the play-off combatants prepare for battle.[LNB] The Cherries old boy insists he has no divided loyalties and is backing the Dorset outfit's Championship quest ahead of tomorrow's semi-final, first leg showdown (12.45pm).[LNB] Browning starred when Cherries earned promotion with a win over Lincoln at the Millennium Stadium eight years ago.[LNB] His career also included two years with Huddersfield, who paid £500,000 for the midfielder when they signed him from Bristol Rovers in 1997.[LNB] Browning enjoyed his time with the Terriers, despite being plagued by injuries, and said Huddersfield was a fantastic club to play for. But the Cherries youth coach is hoping Lee Bradbury's men can progress.[LNB] The 40-year-old, who will be in attendance at the first leg, told the Echo: I live in Bournemouth and I work training the scholars, and I am training the under-14s as well.[LNB] I want Bournemouth to win and go through to Old Trafford. It would be fantastic for the club.[LNB] Huddersfield are favourites but Browning believes the underdog tag could benefit Cherries.[LNB] He added: Bournemouth are used to being the underdogs.[LNB] The pressure will be on Huddersfield and nobody will expect Bournemouth to beat them over two legs. Why not go and prove everyone wrong[LNB] Browning, a former Wales international, recently announced his retirement following a brief stint in the Wessex League with Poole Town.[LNB]
