Former Fleet players

[Hempstead Gaz]

Having recently read the Tonbridge Angels match report in which our old and highly overpaid former hero Mr portway is still plying his trade and still scoring penalties, I wondered what had become of 3 of our former best players, Ian Gibbs, Matt Gubbins and Peter Mortley. All were highly talented and all had the ability to make a good impression in the Football league( who can forget that Dwight Yorke was marked out of the game by Mortley!)

I can only assume it was a combination of bad luck, not being scouted and a lack of ambition preventing a full time career.

If anyone knows where they are now and why their careers floundered, I would be interested. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wavey.gif" alt="" />

At least Jimmy Bullard is doing very nicely at Peterborough.

I think their doing what most of our ex players do, making their way round all the kent Eastern Division clubs!

While we are on the subject, who remembers Dean Wells? I am not sure what club, (if any), he plays for now but I am sure I spotted him on the terraces at our home against Hereford.

I should say that Mr Portway was worth every penny the club ever paid him (possibly not the second time around).

 

Wheres Micky Cotter nowdays..anyone know.

Last seen at Tamworth I think , after moving to the midlands and playing for Burton then Worcester .

Remember that moment when the plane flew over the Orient stadium soon after he had buggered off to Oz and the crowd behind the goal launched into 'Terra Terra ' !

Jimmy Bullard is a very good player for Posh! I watch Posh sometimes! How sad!

[Rotten Johnny Shawcraw]

Yes I've heard good reports about Jimmy Bullard, what happened at West Ham did he not make the grade? Oh well its their loss looking at their current predicament!

[Nols1974]

Last I heard Micky Cotter was playing for a team called Quorn! , I think they are in a midlands league.

[carjam]

Quorn..yep they really do exist.

 

Theres a match report below that mentions a striker named Clotter..I wonder. Follow the 2-4 win at Stafford Town

I think Ian Gibbs and Peter Mortley (captain) are at Ashford. Matt Gubbins is still Injured.
