WHERE THEY ARE NOW ?

AshaddickAshaddick
in General Charlton
I recently came across a 5 year old team sheet for a pre-season friendly I went to between Dover Athletic and CAFC and I decided to look into how the players who turned out for us in that game had progressed with their careers. The date of the game was 23rd July 2008 and these are as far as I could find out where they are in 2013.

1 Rob Elliot Newcastle
2 Yassin Moutaouakil Portsmouth
3 Grant Basey Wycombe Wanderers
4 Josh Wright Millwall
5 Majid Boughera Lekhwiya (Qatar)
6 John Fortune Chatham Town ? / Dag & Redbridge ?
7 Lloyd Sam New York Red Bulls
8 Dean Sinclair Sutton Utd
9 Stuart Fleetwood Luton Town
10 Chris Dickson Shanghai East Asia
11 Rashid Jussuff AFC Wimbledon
12 Aswad Thomas Grimsby Town
14 Mikel Jensen IF Brommapojkarna ( ret 2011 )
15 Kevin Tunani FC Brussels ( Belg 2nd Div )
16 Callum Christie (GK) Somewhere in America
17 Ben Godfrey Lewes (Ryman Prem )
18 Sam Long Dover Athletic
19 Yodo Mambo Shrewsbury

Anyone know of any players who turned out in pre-season games then left us but went on to huge fame and fortune with other clubs ?

    And playing alongside Ruben Bover!!! I hope that at least they are getting well paid because playing in Yankee Doodle land is not going to get you a career in English football. I'm more disappointed in Bover's likely demise than Sam's.

    Saw the name Ross Worner earlier today. Completely forgot he was our sub keeper for a season.

    Few more I forget were even with us when looking through the old squad lists. Remember Wade Small and Bally Smart?

    Wow, Michael Stewart never found a club after leaving us, thought he was half decent.

    As for Ross Worner; from his Wiki page, quote from Holdsworth the Aldershot boss where he went after us...

    “I’m delighted Ross has signed a two-year agreement with us. He has got a big future in football if he carries on the way he is going. I liken him, in all seriousness, to Joe Hart a few years ago, he’s got a great future.[Goalkeeping coach] Ashley Bayes has been brilliant with him as he has with Jamie Young, Jordan Clement and the other keepers we’ve had with us this season. Ross needs pushing and occasionally needs grounding and Ashley does that really well.”
    —Holdsworth on Worner.[10]

    That's hilarious about Michael Stewart, I remember him saying when he played for us that he wouldn't be signing permanently because he thought he could get a bigger club in the summer!

    I think we were interested in offering him something too, never look a gift horse in the mouth.

    "Anyone know of any players who turned out in pre-season games then left us but went on to huge fame and fortune with other clubs ? "

    Do you mean players who left that season without playing for us? Because there are plenty of players who played for us including in pre season who are doing pretty well...

    Dean Sinclair....another masterful piece of business. Not quite up there with Simon Walton or Martin Christensen but not far short.

    I was thinking more along the lines of played in pre-season games but for what ever reason didn't get signed but went to better things elsewhere. Am I right in thinking Ricardo Fuller did this many years ago ?

    Mark Debolla was with Sittingbourne a few years back, not sure if he is still playing.

    I'm sure I remember someone posted on here about how he was arrested in America for something, mugshot was posted as well!

    Ye, but he got injured, needed an operation (which apparently the club aid for) and then he missed a bit of football and came back at a lower level.

    Anyone remember Steve Barbe? Pretty sure he made the bench once and that was it.

    I remember Steve Barbe. Back in the days when we had an almost entirely British team so I used to presume that any foreign player we signed would automatically be brilliant.

    Had high hopes for Emeka Ifejiagwa, but according to his Wikipedia page his entire football career consisted of 28 games across about 11 years.

    Cristian Bolanos looked pretty good prior to having his work permit turned down.
