THATCHAM PULL OF A COUP - 27/09/2002

 

Jewson Wessex League club Thatcham Town have pulled off quite a coup with the signing of former England semi-professional international midfielder Steve Stott and he made his debut in Tuesday night’s 4-0 home defeat at the hands of Portland United.

 

“It was my first game of the season, and I’m a bit rusty,” aid the former Yeovil Town skipper who has seen service with a number of top non-League clubs.

 

“But I’m looking forward to playing here,” he added.

 

The 37-year-old was at Slough Town in a player-coach capacity last season after joining the club from Woking.

 

Before that he skippered Yeovil and only left the club when it turned full-time and the Witney-based accountant wanted to move closer to home.

 

Stott's (pictured) career started with Tranmere Rovers before he spent nine years with Southern League Bromsgrove. He moved to Kettering Town for £15,000 in 1994 and then to Rushden for £30,000 before another £10,000 took him to Yeovil in 1997.

 

Stott played six times for the England semi-professional side, scoring against Holland

 

And he also skippered the famous Middlesex Wanderers touring side on a tour of India.

 

“You can see that he has played a different level,” said manager Neil Baker, “and in a couple of weeks when he is fully match-fit, he will be a great asset to the club with his guidance and leadership.”

Apparently Stotty wanted to stay at Slough, but Browne has not even spoken to him since the end of last season. wtf is that all about?

That goes with things that I've heard. The more I hear about the manager, the more I'm convinced he's never going to learn.

 

Probably in a similar situation to Steve Hale, they probably had a disagreement and Browne's personal beliefs got in the way of the team's best interests.
