Getting back into the premiership has got me wondering. where are the players from the last time we were there. What are they doinng now. How many of them are running pubs.
Ray Wilkins is doing his best to ruin as many London clubs as possible as well as building a career as the pundit with the most boring voice.
Andy Sinton has just got promoted with Telford. 1Tony Roberts 2 David Bardsley 3 Rufus Brevett 4 Simon Barker 5 Alan McDonald 6 Danny Maddix 7 Andy Impey 8 Ian Holloway 9 Danny Dichio 10 Kevin Gallen 11 Trevor Sinclair 12 Paul Murray 13 Sieb Dykstra 14 Karl Ready 15 16 17 18 Greg Goodridge 19 Nigel Quashie 20 Ray Wilkins 21 Steve Yates 22 Lee Charles 23 Andrew McDermott 24 Trevor Challis 25 Jurgen Sommer 26 Mark Hateley 27 Matthew Brazier 28 29 Chris Plummer Some real ****e in there.
Murray was at Hartlepool last season, Goodridge is a player-coach in Barbados, Roberts is still at Dagenham and I think that's it for our 95/96 squad still playing.
He's on a Barbados beach selling water-melons and doing football tricks for the holiday makers. Aparently he can still do his famous bicycle kick over a handball net!
Sinclair was on Talksport last week talking to Alan Brazil, he was playing golf in Dubai. He's dead chuffed we won the League...
Tony Roberts still plays for Dagenham & Redbridge at almost 42 years old. He is also a goalkeeping coach with the Arsenal Youth team, could probably do a better job than any of the clowns between the sticks at the Emirates...
According to Wikipedia..... 1 Tony Roberts - Playing for Dagenham and Redbridge, also coaches the Arsenal Youth Team keepers. 2 David Bardsley - lives in Florida running a football academy over there. 3 Rufus Brevett - Assistant Manager of Bedfont town, also runs a tanning salon in Egham. 4 Simon Barker - is a Senior Exec for the PFA 5 Alan McDonald - most recently was manager of Glentoran until last summer. 6 Danny Maddix - trains a sunday league team called Colebrook Royals 7 Andy Impey - 8 Ian Holloway - runs a tangerine stall on the seafront up north. 9 Danny Dichio - lives in Canada, head coach of the Toronto FC U-18 academy. 10 Kevin Gallen - left Luton in January, and signed for Braintree town. 11 Trevor Sinclair - is living with the wife and kids in Dubai 12 Paul Murray - plays for Hartlepool Town 13 Sieb Dykstra - 14 Karl Ready - 18 Greg Goodridge - currently player-coach at Brittons Hill United F C in Barbados 19 Nigel Quashie - hasn't had a club since we released him last summer. 20 Ray Wilkins - commentator, Pundit, and holder of the secrets behind Chelsea FC's dirty laundry 21 Steve Yates - 22 Lee Charles - 23 Andrew McDermott - doesn't even have a wikipedia page...... 24 Trevor Challis - coaches U13 football and runs a coaching company in Bristol 25 Jurgen Sommer - 26 Mark Hateley - 27 Matthew Brazier - 29 Chris Plummer - is Director of Football at Peterborough Northern Star It's safe to assume all the rest are probably given a mobile phone and then sent off to a League 2 game every weekend by Sky....
Sommer is the USA's goalkeeping coach so don't expect them to do much any time soon. Impey was last seen casually invading the pitch at Vicarage Road. Dykstra is a goalkeeping coach at MVV Maastricht. They have to sign a treaty before each game, allegedly. I think Yates now works for the FA.
Kevin Gallen was outside the Pub leading the singing on the 7th. Andy Impey , invaded the pitch at Watford!
Trevor is living in Dubai, trying to make it as a sports presenter. He is appearing on Asian TV sports shows learning the trade before he comes back to England. He told this to myself on a flight to Dubai whilst sat at the bar drinking for most of the flight. His a good lad is Trev.
