Manchester City have given a trial to the son of one of the former stars of The A-Team. Roland Benedict, 20, whose father, Dirk, played Templeton 'Faceman' Peck in the 1980s television show, has been training with City's development squad. (the Times)
Roland has been on trial with KRC Gent-Zeerhaven. The teams website says his transfer isn't 100% complete because of Belgian residence paperwork. Roland Niewoehner (20/02/1990) is a 21-year-old American striker who already spends several months in our country. He tested include SK Lierse in, but was recommended to a team from the third / fourth class to find because there are chances would be greater. Roland is the son of Dirk Niewoehner, better known as Dirk Benedict, or better known as Templeton Peck aka Face from The A-Team. Roland is a deep striker who has yet to grow into role goalgetter but a lot of talent available. Roland played in his homeland mainly in school teams.

What a pleasure it is, on my first Father's Dad as a dad myself, to be able to post an update to the Roland Benedict thread that is 100% on topic. Here's to you, Face. When Roland was 4 years old, the three boys and their mother, actress Toni Hudson, left California and moved into a small log cabin on the eastern shore of Flathead Lake. Dirk, who said he fell into acting “by accident,” is a White Sulphur Springs native and was drawn back to the Montana lifestyle. Hudson lived in the cabin for only a short while before leaving in 1995 — she moved back to Los Angeles and she and Dirk divorced — and Faceman settled in to his newest role as a single dad. The cabin, Roland estimated, was less than 1,000-square feet and rather quaint. The family had no TV, a bath with no shower and a wood-burning stove. Dirk cheekily described his kids “living a deprived childhood” during the eight or nine months of the year they stayed with him in Montana. http://www.dailyinterlake.com/article/20170617/ARTICLE/170619874
