Anthony Stokes

Been on the run from the Police for over a year. How the mediocre have fallen....

Signed by Keane iirc. Always remember his late winner v Derby. It’s ridiculous we didn’t have that game won a lot earlier than 90+ …

 

He was a talented player, **** attitude from what I saw in the press and message board's.

 

Loved a line or 8 on a weekend iirc

 

You know your career's hit a sticky patch when you can't play because you're on the run from the police.

 

Scored with his first touch away at Plymouth after coming on as a sub in 06/07 season

 

Clive Walker did better at Stamford Bridge when he dodged that police horse

 

Something inevitable about this.

Looked a real prospect, but even early on Keane was calling him out on keeping out of clubs and so on.

Not the first, won't be the last, but he probably has sod all money after earning a relative fortune, and must wake up sometimes and wonder "what the feck happened there ?"

 

This bit cracked me up:

He has also had spells with Falkirk, Sunderland and Iranian outfit Tractor but is currently without a club.

 

If I recall correctly he played with Derek Ferguson's brother, Massey.

 

He should’ve had a decent career.

He’s a total helmet.

 

Without looking at that title it could be Maja, Wickham, Brady, Kenwyne, etc etc etc.

Why some players can't apply themselves for ten or fifteen years is a puzzle ...

... do your absolute best, win something, make your money and you're still young enough to go to Ibiza and go nuts.

 

Sean Thornton was the same.

My dad worked the doors in the town and had to chuck him out of Chase many times.

 

Did Maja and Kenwyne Jones have issues similar to others. Maja was more he had his head turned by money, should never have got to that point as he should have been given a new contract as soon as he was in the first team.

Kenwyne Jones was it not down to the fact he was never the same after his injury?

 

Bombarding ex girlfriend’s dad with offensive text messages? My ex girlfriend’s Dad threatened to kill me in front of police and a lot of witnesses! Police just told us to settle our differences!!

 

You’re a Seaham lad if I recall, what’s your dads initials mate.

 

RM

He died in 2011 but worked Flares, Chase and then Lloyd’s in Durham.

 

Sorry for your loss, mate.
I don’t recognise his initials, I’m 54 so would probably have recognised or knew who he was.

 

If you ever turned out round the harbour in the 90s you’ll absolutely know him and probably my uncle, who has the same initials.
