Adebayo Akinfenwa’s introduction to the Wycombe Wanderers fan base was no ordinary unveiling, then again, Akinfenwa is no ordinary player.

The so called world’s strongest footballer arrived at Adams Park on Sunday to much fanfare as Wanderers used the conclusion of their 2016/17 kit launch to announce his signing.

His life at Wycombe started in acrimonious fashion with a red card after 28 minutes against Le Havre on Tuesday night, and he must look to move on quickly.

The former AFC Wimbledon man described the reception he received from those lucky enough to attend his unveiling as overwhelming, and he is confident about the club’s future.

“For me, I got a similar feeling to when I walked into AFC Wimbledon, I knew that something good could be done,” Akinfenwa said.

“I was there for two years and at the end of the two years we got promotion. When I spoke to the gaffer [Gareth Ainsworth] the same things came up.

“If we can emulate what happened at AFC Wimbledon here then it would be beautiful.”

The 34-year-old’s impact will be judged throughout the course of his one-year contract, and the burly forward will be tasked with adding brawn as well as goals to the Wycombe front-line.

Time will tell if he can do so, but the "Beast" is right to suggest Wycombe are a good fit for his unique talents.

Eight goals in 42 appearances last season suggests he is far from prolific, but Akinfenwa believes he can bring experience to the Wycombe ranks, while also learning from others at the club.

He said: “I am going to do my best. I am not a young pup and I have got experience, but I am looking to learn as much from the younger players as they can from me.

“That is part and parcel of a good team, it is a balance. The team can help with my weaknesses and my strengths can help them.

“I can give my experience across and I will definitely be doing that.”

It is an undeniable coup for Wycombe to have attained Akinfenwa’s services and he is likely to have as much of an impact off the pitch as on it.

Speculation about Akinfenwa’s future had been rife from the moment he implored managers to “hit him up on WhatsApp” after scoring in Wimbledon’s play-off final win in May.

He is pleased to have finally settled on his new club and is now looking forward to the upcoming League Two campaign.

He said: “It’s nice [to have signed]. I was lucky enough to have a fair bit of interest, from all over the world, but it is nice to get something sorted and know where I’ll be next season.

“I had to take my time and make sure the club I signed for was right. It is nice to sign and I am looking forward to the season ahead.”
