Former players - where are they now?

No, another manager who’s overhyped and delivers little.

Yes - just the one L1 title, an FA Cup, and 3rd place at the last World Cup.

According to Viking Chat (Doncaster Rovers board) Lee Tomlin has just signed for Ilkeston Town, as Player/Coach.

One comment was that it would probably be Coach rather than Player, with his injury record…

Or maybe just driving the coach?

Maybe not, isn’t he banned for drink driving or was that someone else?

You sure it’s not “couch” given how soft and lumpy he is?

Jayden Campbell and Mitch Candlin are both now at Chasetown.

Sort of feels like both should be doing better than that given the promise they had.

Darren Byfield now coaching at Crawley.
When did that happen?

A while back….

Craig MacGillivray is Charlton Athletic’s goalkeeper for tonight’s F.A. Cup replay at Stockport.

To think we stole him off Harrogate town for a string of beads and a new teapot for the kitchen when they were very much non league, how times change.

He played in the first game.

So did I in Pattingham, near Wolverhampton. Me and my best mate were saddlers (he came with me to a game against Carlisle - Steve Baines scored for both teams and he was hooked) in a place which was almost exclusively Wolves. Great banter at the newsagents every Saturday tea time!

I thought he was a really good referee. I think fans liked him, and managers liked him, but the assessors had a problem with him because he let too much go. He said he could tell a bad foul from a bit of nothing and was happy just to clamp down when it was necessary.
He did at least a couple of our games, he didn’t show any bias he was just a good ref.
The game would benefit from more ex-players like him becoming referees.

Remember him doing our games.

Always thought he was cut a bit more slack

Good referees
