The son of Wycombe Wanderers legend Gareth Ainsworth- Kane Ainsworth- has followed in his father's footsteps by joining Reading non-league outfit, Woodley United.
51-year-old Ainsworth enjoyed a 25-year professional playing career, which included spells with the likes of Preston North End and Queens Park Rangers, and had a 14-year association with Wycombe as player and manager.
Taking the club into the Championship for the first time ever in 2019/20, he juggled this alongside non-league appearances for Woodley United and performing in his band around Berkshire.
