Ex-players and managers

Went Accy Stanley-Cheltenham today and seen the dream strikeforce of Hayles & Hammond. Tbf, they never gain any service but surely, Allen is on borrowed time. He played Low at left back, a right footed striker on the left wing and then when an injury meant a change, he put the smallest bloke on the pitch at centre-half. As the four goals went in, the back four's personnel kept changing and eventually ended up with a 37 yr old striker playing centre-half. Lovely work by Maddog.

Considering the financial position they're in, if he keeps them in the Football League he's done a superb job. Sounds like a bizarre game though.

This made me smile...

Lincoln City manager Chris Sutton says midfielder Stefan Oakes is the most talented player in League Two.


I remember that deflected free kick he scored against Sunderland in the 5-2 win at Filbert Street when Stan Collymore scored that hat trick.

I used to know Stef Oakes' dad, Trever of Shawoddywoddy fame.

Strange man.

Don't throw that word around, it'll cease to mean anything if you do.

Fine.:icon_roll

I used to know Stef Oakes' dad, Trevor who was in a band i'm aware of but have no idea what they sang or sounded like. He also liked to wax his car in nothing but a pair of speedos (true).

Strange man.

According to a few Cheltenham fans, he doesn't help the financial situation by forever signing loanees. Never had a problem under John Ward in this sense apparently.

Bit disappointed I didn't see Kee....Accy fans rate him.

Tom cleverley got his fifth goal at the weekend - shame we didn't manage to get him in again as I think he could have added that extra bit of quality we needed to finish off some of these games.

Re: Ex-players (the thread nobody's been waiting for)

I hate to say but Mark Davies is quality ain't he? Went on one of those 20 yard dribbles on Saturday at Old Trafford. I blame that one on Sky and having that Yeovil game televised.

Dickov and Sav give the shaggers a 2-0 lead against QPR, only to lose 4-2

:icon_lol: That was funny wasn't it? I was ready to throw the coffee table at the tv when Sav hit that free-kick. How different I was at the end when the penalty went in - nearly burnt my foot when I spilled my tea celebrating.

Superb stuff, Derby looked very poor.

QPR's first wasn't a free kick, the third was a comedy of errors and the fourth wasn't a penalty. The boos at the end made me PMSL LOOL ROFL.

Agreed on QPR's first and fourth. Neither of the free-kicks leading to Derby's goals should have been given either. The ref was pish. All the t-shirts on the pitch made me chuckle :icon_lol:

Remember when we got thumped by Villa last time we were in the Prem? Either Nuts or Zoo had just been launched and everyone got a copy, almost every single one ended up being thrown on the pitch.(after the pics of tits had been examined, I love fun bags. Some one should.....

In other, slightly older, news, Harrogate Town are Trevor Benjamin's second club of the season already, and he's scored three in three. He's now played for 23 different clubs. I'm pretty sure he's played for more teams than any other active footballer. Even Steve Claridge only played for 20.

Claridge was in Fan Club last night, my mate saw him and got a photo with him - he sounds like a top bloke.

This may have been posted before as the news is a year old but I thought it was interesting.

He only played 5 games for us but impressed me during that time.

He did. Travelled the well-trodden path down to alcoholism and depression. Sad story.
