Ex Player Ex-Player Thread

I remember vividly the first season back in the league after promotion the first round of the league cup and Heslop hammering home at the fence end home to Bristol Rovers.
Got a brace that night. He also scored a long range thunderbastard a couple of weeks later in a 4-0 home win over Morecambe. Looked a world beater, and in training he was an absolute machine.

Then he seemed to turn into Phil Trainer 2.0 almost overnight.
 
I make it seven who are probably still playing. Pretty good going 12 years on!

Damian Batt - retired
Anthony Tonkin - retired

Paul Mclaren - retired
Mark Creighton - retired
Djoumin Sangaré (no, me neither) - retired
Jake Wright - retired (I think)
Simon Heslop - Liversedge
James Constable - retired

Simon Clist - retired
Asa Hall - Torquay
Alfie Potter - Oxford City

Ryan William gone to Bengaluru, Indian Super League

Sorry if already mentioned not got time to scroll back 🤣🤣
 
Mousinho has upset the Pompey fans on Twitter by saying it’s not a failure if they don’t get promotion this year
 
Perth Glory have gone into receivership so staying wasn't really an option. Surprised that another A-League team didn't sign him.
Glory owners got hammered by covid (whole team living/training away from home for months and no home gates), and then the women’s World Cup (Home games for most of the season played at a different ground with 4K capacity while HBF stadium was upgraded for WWC). I feel sorry for the owners who just ran out of spare millions to throw away.
I’m surprised Willo didn’t stay in A league too. The money must be worth it.

I believe Harry Worley is now an agent. Damien Batt got into some trouble over his dodgy company he set up when with us didn’t he?
Mark Crieghton has now sold his tattoo studio in Wrexham which I am gutted about as he gave me a very good discount for my tattoo sleeve! He also used to tell some great stories about the Wilder days.
Doble and Burge can’t be that old still since they were very young when they came to us?

Think Batt’s issues were after he left us.

I had a weird appreciation for Burge and really rated him for some reason.

Seem to recall he may have appeared on a Police Camera Action type programme at tome point - anyone able to confirm that if I’m going senile?!
