New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Motown Fox]

Anthony Knockaert scored his 12th goal of the season just down the road from me at The New York Stadium as Brighton beat Rotherham 2-0.

Richie Wellens has hung up his boots.

And this ex player on the run, possibly quicker than when he played for us.

I have no recollection of him playing for us at all.

Yes, well, didn't help. Must have erased him from my memory. Why isn't that possible with Josh Low?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Oh aye, I remember Shaun Newton. Awful.

Knocky has just put Brighton 1 up against the sheepshaggers.

Newton was an absolute disgrace of a footballer, I ****ing loathed Jim as a player.

Nice to know he's a **** in normal life so I don't have to feel bad for him.

Jim Melrose ?

Yeh, who the feck would swap him for Tommy English?
Mind you, I was at Barnsley when TE scored the winner

Even he couldn't believe that went in

Pretty special goal by Kramaric.

Pretty special goal by Kramaric.

He was a special player with whom we didn't have enough patience or give enough opportunities.

Not really an ex player thing but I am currently reading George Best's book Blessed. It would appear that his son Calum is called Calum Milan Best, named in honour of our former owner for the support that he had given him whilst in America.

Imagine what we could have achieved last season with him in the side.


(Sorry, couldn't resist, I do agree it would have been great to see him have more of an opportunity with us. But it would have meant changing our way of playing completely to accommodate)
