Isn't Sam Sodje at Margate ( and another Sodje at Bromley ) ?

I think there are about half a dozen Sodjes knocking around. All either brothers or closely related. I'm at a loss as to which one we have got but I'm sure the web-meister will put us out of our misery before to long!

 

I was in-line with his shot yesterday, it was awesome, the keeper, went the right way but never had a chance it was moving all over the place!

There's one at Welling, he scored yesterday as well.

Akpo will be sadly missed by Margate fans and it's a great pity we let him go. He had a good scoring record for us last season, even though he often played when not fully fit. Highlight of his stay with us was an amazing goal at Yeovil as we won 2-1.

 

He's a bit of a rough diamond and the kind of player that'll do 9 things wrong and then do something absolutely brilliant the 10th time.

 

He played against Gravesend in the KSC Final when he was about 10% fit - hobbled about from the start with a heavy strapping on his knee. Fitness is a bit of an issue with him.

 

He wasn't under contract with Margate so you've got him for nothing and I hope he does well for you. I think he's been treated very badly by Margate.

 

For the record, his brothers are Estebor (?) of Nigeria and Crewe, Steve of Welling and Sam of Margate.

 

The 'official' Akpo song goes like this...

AKPO !

 

...his real name is absolutely ridiculous though - about 20 letters with akpo somewhere in the middle.

 

What's happened to Eliot Martin ? Is he still with you or has he moved somewhere else ?

[David Holden]

Eliot has stayed with us and is now Reserve Team Manager.

what a fantastic game sodje had on saturday. the goal that he scored was amazing. Also a fantastic goal by Tostao on saturday. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!

Hopefully we can pull off another win against Forest Green away next saturday.

Thanks for the info Dave - does Eliot also play for the reserves ? He must only be 30 and it's a bit of a shame he's not playing at a higher level. He was a great player for Margate.

Well he may do, but he had a hernia operation at the end of July and is only just coming back to fitness.
