Players you thought had retired but are still about

[Pogue Mahone]

It seems like a different era that Dean Bowditch was playing for us...and yet he is apparently not 50 yet, and is playing for that horrible club in Milton Keynes.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Peter Ward once a year REMF match

Retired. If you didn't go to the Palace game at the Amex this year you missed his last appearance.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Could include Ryan Giggs, seems to have kept himself fit!

But only for the women.

 

[dazzer6666]

Pretty sure Stuart Tuck has been in Burgess Hill's matchday squad a couple of times this season

 

[Norman Potting]

LOL, I was aware it was the ex Leeds/MU one as opposed the big nose from Leicester (the one called Smith, not Lineker)

He is 36 - some Championship Clubs have captains that age

 

[Biscuit]

Steve Sidwell's still going somewhere isn't he?

 

[Biscuit]

Chris McPhee as Frome Town

 

[Paris]

Saw the first post and thought surely not, it's nearly 25 years since he scored the opening goal in that famous end of season game at Anfield!

27 years ago "It's up for grabs now!...THOMAS!"

 

[Whitechapel]

Diego Forlan, Michael Chopra & Florent Malouda are all playing in India.

 

[Everest]

Billy Sharp

Not retired, but I thought he died 5 years ago.

Harsh, considering his personal tragedy.

I am surprised he survived that day.

Didn't Chopra last play for a Scottish Champ team? (Probably Alloa)

 

[Murray 17]

Deon Burton and Jamie Cureton still play, for Eastleigh

I lost a lot of respect for Cureton when he taunted the home fans (who had just been cheering for their home) after his poor Dagenham team scored against non-league Whitehawk. Seems he just plays for a year somewhere, then moves on.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Deon Burton and Jamie Cureton still play, for Eastleigh

I read somewhere that Stuart Pearce played for someone recently

You might want to check about Deon Burton.

Ross Flitney is playing for Eastleigh as well, anyone remember his loan spell here?!

Isn't Flitney at Whitehawk now?

300+ pro league goals? If you still have the love to celebrate, go for it. Knocky v Wednesday?

Celebrate, yes. Taunt a group of fans of a much lower side, who have said nothing to you, no.

Knocky v Wednesday? They too are a massively lower side.
