FA Cup - Slough Old Boys

[Paul Stephens]

I expect everyone noticed that Lloyd Owusu played and scored in Brenford's FA cup win this week, but how many noticed that Marcus Richardson played and scored for Chester in their 2 - 2 draw with Cheltenham.

 

Too easy? OK Terry Angus also played for Nuneaton against Middlesborough

switching to the scottish fa cup, my dad thinks that the clyde manager graham roberts used to be at slough, any truth in this?

[Matt]

Absolutely - was player manager, around 1998/99.

[GarySTFC]

Was also a player in the 94/95 season for a few games before heading off on his managerial career. Quite responsible for Steve Browne's managerial 'nous' as well, and although I wasn't around watching Slough at the time, I understand he wasn't much appreciated at the club during his reign.

[Radders]

Definately wasn't my favourite manager from my time watching the Rebels. Another ex-Rebel in the (Sky Sports) News is Derek Asamoah who maybe off to join Richardson at Chester from Lincoln.

Roberts really did set the trend for pissing money away in a ridiculous fashion and "groomed" Browne as his replacement. Roberts was not really helped by the fact that he was brought in to replace the incredibly popular Paul Hardyman who was not given a proper opportunity to manage the club or spend Deaner's money despite leading a scratch side to victory over soon to be champions Sutton. The removal of Hardyman and the installation of a big name, big spending manager was the first of many mistakes made by Martyn Deaner.

Soon to be available on a compilation DVD from matches from the past!

[Ted]

A great idea. I'll certainly be buying one.

[GarySTFC]

Well I have five/six matches from the 90's, all bar one is Slough getting beaten, usually heavily!, by Colchester, which were from a AFC Dons fan who had filmed the matches a while back and kindly allowed me to put them in on a 'Blasts From The Past' style DVD. The other match is the Sutton Utd vs Slough match in that memorable win.

Average manager but was far too old to be playing... (he did manage to ruin most of the good work David Kemp started)

[Martin]

Nice interview with Terry Angus on the bbc website today. No mention of Slough mind.

[Guest]

Terry Angus also on Central Soccer Night Thursday.

Didn't mention Slough once!!!

I think Graham Roberts is a decent manager if you like his style (Borg-esque). Can't agree that he ruined Kemp's work as this was carried out by Les Briley.

 

Unfortunately for GR, Mr. Deaner just didn't have deep enough pockets to support the crazy money splashed around in 1998/9. Arguably if he'd been a bit more pragmatic we could have paid our way for longer without falling out with players and the Thornes through cash flow issues.
