In a rare foray back onto here for me to post bizarre knowledge of former players, I do have to doff my cap to you.

Although it's not quite on a par for obscurity but I have found former "four-figure transfer fee" forward Kevin Budge lurking in the Sussex County football league last season and looking decidedly haggard... isn't he only about 30 now?!

If anyone can tell me what happened to midfield maestro Ben White and as to why he was nicknamed "You useless fat sack of [****]!" I'd be eternally grateful...

[Hempstead Gaz]

Ben didn't even live up to his nickname!!

STOP THE PRESS!

 

Having found one former player in the SCFL I didn't expect to stumble on another in the same league so soon... Ladies and Gen'lemen (with apologies to Kenny Shorrocks) I give you Luke Gedling at Ringmer FC.

Ben White played for Eastbourne Borough, Hastings and signed for Eastbourne Town last summer.

Ive asked before.....nobody answered. What happened to Pat Gradley, anyway??

 

Probably nobody will answer this one either

[David Holden]

he signed for Sittingbourne last month, but has since left to "Travel the World"

Adam Miller adds to his long long list of admirers:

I particularly enjoyed the following statement from the man who three times blubbed like a big girl when things didn't go his way:

 

"It’s a man’s game,” said the match-winner. “I think some players and referees like it to be tippy-tappy. I don’t care who I upset, and if I upset people. If they don’t like it then they’ve got to take it on the chin. We’re all men and it’s a man’s game – deal with it."

Charlie MacDonald scores for Southend in their reserve fixture against Ipswich. Ipswich still go on to win 3-2

“I’ve got stick off so many people, whether it’s been here or elsewhere and I seem to get it off other players, but I don’t really care.”

 

Maybe because you are a complete ar$ehole?

[Student Scum]

I enjoyed the misplaced simile in “The geezer didn’t stop moaning, he was up off the bench every two minutes, up and down like Tower Bridge"... Once or twice a year then, presumably?

 

Love to loathe him - and he's looking disturbingly like Ryan Sidebottom... front bottom would be more accurate.

 

Cheers for the Ben White info. Looking at their first team squad photo suggests that he's possibly still got the same nickname.

[Fleetbabe]

Didn't Gleds nickname come from an experience with some shots fans?

[Jimmy]

Possibly.

 

Allstars - is a whoosh appropriate?

[Harry J Allstars]

I'm afraid that'll have to go to the Tinpot panel Jimmy.

 

My vote will be yes though.

 

Have we got any Brown?

[Andy Y. (G&NFC)]

HE was pelted with the aforesaid prickly things at their place a few years ago and got the hump!

 

As for the Miller interview? Whats this about people trying to get into his head? You would have thought he would be better off trying to put some Brain Cells there first wouldn't you!

[Bernard]

Why do they call him Jacko?

[Jeff]

I have always thought the same thing about Wilko Bernard.

There's a bloke works in Wilkinson in the 'Thames Gateway' centre called Wilko Bernard. Is that the one you're thinking of Jeff?

[Jeff]

You are a sad man.

Why was Matt Lee nicknamed Matt?
