Geoff Pitcher is a part time fireman now i believe. One of my mates did his training with him.

And plays for St Francis Rangers

No longer a fireman, he is a full time policeman and plays for St Francis in County League 1 for a laugh.

David Lee went to Aldershot, but suffered a bad leg break and ended up released. I think he might have had a spell with AFC Wimbledon after that, could be wrong though.

 

[Les Biehn]

Wonder how old Brooker is? His career just nose dived.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Wicks went to New Zealand for a bit then retired I assume.

 

[Wilko]

Cheers for doing that, made for an interesting read and not a waste of time at all. Interesting to see that (Zamora aside) every other player has spiralled downwards. Is it fair then to say that most players played above their standard or that we were very reliant on one man?

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I think a team sometimes just gels, Wilko, and becomes more than the sum of its parts. Down to the manager, team spirit, the confidence of a good run, whatever.

Brooker's lack of success after he left definitely shows though that the grass is not always greener...

they werent exactly a young side though - its not suprising now that most of them have fallen to the wayside as age catches up

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

thats true, adams built a side based around solid experienced players (cullip, crosby/morgan, carpenter, oatway, rogers) coupled with by FAR the best player in the league- zamora

one GLARING omission is chris mcphee who made his debut in the div 2 winning season......he is now at ebbsfleet after a fairly unsuccessful spell at torquay

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Considering quite a few of them players won 2 titles they havent turned out very well.

 

[Jam The Man]

I think he's a full time PCSO?

David Lee is currently 'playing' fpr East Thurrock United in the Ryman League

and he has scored some VITAL goals to help them reach wembley this year in the trophy

Spot on !

 

[Screaming J]

Crosby hasn't done to bad, did we release him or did Scunthorpe buy him off us? Either way, he's lasted. How old is he now??

Chris is indeed at Ebbsfleet, along with Paul McCarthy, saw them both play a couple of weeks back.
