Torquay United have been hit by financial problems this season and their manager Kevin Nicholson has confessed that he is also doubling up as the National League club's bus driver.

Since millionaire owner, Thea Bristow left the club and a group of local businessmen have taken over the club, Torquay has been strapped for cash. 

Torquay has been donated a minibus by a local company so that they can travel together to away matches.

The 35-year-old manager has not denied being the driver and he drove the team to games at Boreham Wood, Macclesfield and the FA Trophy game at Bognor Regis Town.

Nicholson told the 'BBC', "It's a phase that we're working hard to come out of and you've got to do what you've got to do."
