    I saw Nigel Reo Coker half heartedly warming up for Franchise a few weeks back. Does that count?

      Really? What a wanker.

        Bolton wanderers and West ham fans will be happy to know that Joey O'Brien hasn't changed much,he signed for Shamrock Rovers at the start of the season,missed the first dozen games with injury and then got sent off for a wild lunge,he's still only 32

          Former Cardiff, Wolves and Birmingham centre half Roger Johnson scoring a 95th minute own goal to send the Trophy Final in to extra time (and which his team Bromley ultimately lost on penalties) caused me to wonder where he’d been.

          He’s 35 now but almost invisible since his career at Wolves fizzled out about four years ago amidst rumours of alcohol problems and a disastrous loan spell with West Ham. Two spells at Charlton I managed to miss/forget sandwiching a short spell in the Indian Super League with Pune United fill the gap.

          I really thought he could go on to get an England cap after leaving Cardiff, wasn’t he in a squad once?

            JASON PRICE UPDATE

            He's currently playing in the 2018 Seniors World Cup

            ...for England!?!

            Given that his partner up front in their last match was Barry Hayles, as in ten times capped by Jamaica Barry Hayles, think its fair to say national eligibility criteria in the Vets is somewhat lax.

              Go on, Jamie lad. No longer any 'Oh' factor with Cureton of course, but he's a real trooper of this thread. Turns 43 in a couple of weeks.

                Missed a penalty against Hitchin in the Herts Charity Cup this week. Hitchin won 0–1 (also from a penalty.)

                    A bit off that none of his team mates seemed to congratulate him on that.

                    Comment


                      To be fair, he seemed to be in need of oxygen by that point

                        That was a good goal, but yeah, Wayne looked like his lungs were on fire afterwards

                        Comment


                          Mind you, he's had that air of "knackered after 10 minutes" about him since he was 16.

                            Scored two in their win tonight.

                              Vicenza have signed Djibril Cissé.

                                Have we done Kevin Lisbie on this thread recently?

                                Now 39, he scored four (including a seven-minute hat-trick) for Cray Valley Paper Mills in their 5-3 away win at Lordswood yesterday.

                                  Yes and no on Cisse

                                  The historical club of Paolo Rossi and Roby Baggio went bankrupt earlier this year. The club’s assets were acquired at auction by the owner of the Diesel fashion brand, who had been running his own club (Bassano Virtus) about 30 km away. The clubs were merged and are supposed to start play as L.R. Vicenza Virtus in this season’s Serie C.

                                  The “club” that Cisse “signed” for is a completely different entity run by two French guys who are trying to acquire the old club’s licence (which was forfeited at bankruptcy) from the FIGC. But the FIGC hasn’t shown any interest in them, and their club remains unrecognised. As if that wasnt enough, Cisse has already gone back to Senegal to make a television show.

                                    I'm not sure I really followed that but it sounds fascinating.

                                      Paul Bastock, no stranger to this thread, played for Grantham Town on Saturday as their regular keeper was injured. He was born in May 1970 and played his first senior competitive game in October 1988.

                                        Neil Ashton, former Salop full back, is playing for Cefn Druids live on S4C right now.

                                          Paul Scholes made up the numbers for Royton Town as they lost 1-0 at Stockport Georgians today - his son is a more regular player for them.

                                            Not strictly valid for the thread but :

                                              Ray, have you used the ignore poster function on Zeb?

                                                Ah no, obviously just didn’t see the last post for some reason!

                                                  Do retiring players still “hang up their boots”? Presumably nowadays they’re more likely to landfill them.

                                                    George Weah played 79 minutes in Liberia’s friendly against Nigeria today (a match organised to celebrate his career and retire his jersey).

                                                    His son is playing for the US against Mexico tonight.
