Charlie Sheringham has revealed his football managers knew he was planning to propose before his girlfriend did!

The 30-year-old missed Dartford's re-arranged home game with Torquay earlier this season after booking the surprise trip to New York with partner Rosie.

Sheringham initially thought he'd be missing a training session - but the plan backfired when the game was rescheduled.

"It caught me unaware really when I found out," said Sheringham.

"I thought I was only going to miss one training session but I had to miss a game because I'd booked the flights and it was a big moment in my life.

"I couldn't really chop it and change it around.

"I planned to go away because we didn't have a game but then the postponed game got re-arranged.

"As I'd already arranged to go away to propose to my girlfriend, I had to tell the management before I asked the missus!

"I don't think they were happy but once I told them they understood a little bit more!"

Sheringham was back in the starting line-up for Dartford in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Hampton after recovering from an ankle injury.

Reflecting on his stop-start season, the 12-goal striker added: "I had an injury when I first came (in September), then the proposal, and then another injury."
