A chance for you to post something memorable about a former player - good or bad - and perhaps a link to where they are now and what they are doing. I'll kick off with dear old George Santos, affectionately known as 'Donkey George' in my household. Holloway signed him stating that he'd never seen a professional footballer read his contract so diligently. Unfortunately, Olly forgot to check whether he could actually play football! That said, 6 goals in 77 appearances is probably not the worst record. I think he also came on as a sub and scored a screamer - once. Somewhat to my surprise, and if Wiki is correct, he is a European Scout for Man City since August 2014. Over to you.
Alessandro Pellicori, suspended from professional football in August 2012 for three years following his involvement in match fixing...

Was Vinnie Jones on our books for a few months but never played? If so then what the funk was that all about?
He did play once or twice but his knees had gone and he did not have the savvy position sense that some older players have. I happen to know that Gerry was not happy about him being there!
Simon Stainrod was an agent based in France, represented Hatem Ben Arfa. But his FIFA licence was revoked in 2012.
To stop this deteriorating into a rogues gallery, herewith the legend that is Lee Cook. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Cook Does anyone know if the £250k he is alleged to have given the club (during the bucket era) is true or an urban myth?
Danny Simpson.......not considered good enough by Kneecap and now a regular in the team that is top of the Premier League.....funny eh?
What about our portly Morrocan? Adel Tarrabat as Colin amusingly calls him, now running a kebab stall in Lisbon...
I bumped into Ian Dawes a couple of years ago at my brothers wedding. I used to know him when he played for us and he very generously let us use a couple of his complementary tickets up near the directors boxes for a couple of seasons. He does this mobile oven cleaning businesses now . Seemed happy enough.
