Members of the first team squad went rock 'n' roll on Thursday afternoon with a visit to MK Dons' principle partner, the world famous Marshall Amplification.

Sam Baldock, Luke Chadwick, Jude Stirling, Jason Puncheon, Shaun Cummings, Miguel Llera, Carl Magnay and Tore Andre Flo along with Community Ambassador Paul Mitchell dropped in to the company's impressive headquarters on Denbigh Road for a guided tour and to meet some of the geniuses behind Marshall's iconic rock technology.

Marshall Amps have been the Dons' most prominent sponsor since the Club was formed in 2004, with their instantly-identifiable, world famous signature adorning the Club's playing strip for the last five years. As the choice of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend and Paul Weller, it's a brand that has brought a unique sense of 'cool' to MK Dons.

After meeting managing directors Jon Ellery and Graham Young on arrival, the players were taken around the various stages of Marshall's manufacturing process and were let in on a few of the secrets that have made Marshall the choice of world's biggest rock stars for nearly 50 years.

Jude, Miguel, Shaun and Jason meet the some of the ladies behind the Marshall magic.

Service manager Phil Wells and artist liaison Joel Manan took the boys from concept to dispatch, via testing, electronics and finishing to show the incredibly fine detail every product goes through to be officially stamped 'a Marshall'.

The lads were even treated to an impromptu cameo from legendary Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine, who was involved in a photo shoot in the Marshall Theatre!

The players stopped for photos and autographs with staff around the factory and were finally presented with their own micro amps to take home at the end of the tour.

Striker Sam Baldock said: "You've only got to look at some of the photos and testimonies on the walls to realise how big Marshall Amps is. Anyone who's been to a live concert will recognise the brand straight away.

2008/09 is the fifth season of MK Dons' iconic partnership with world famous Marshall Amplification.

"They've been a massive supporter of ours since the beginning and, let's face it, it's a great name to have on your shirt!

"Like the Club, Marshall are proud to be from Milton Keynes and the support they've given to sport throughout the city is fantastic."
