I occasionally look to see where former players are now plying their trade and how there getting on mainly the ones that are at local clubs or ones in league 1 or championship so look on these threads to look at former players who moved further afield? As for Tony I found him a frustrating player to watch because at times he showed minutes of brilliance but afraid that is always what it was and was never a whole match but at a low time for the club he did give us fans a glimmer of hope even if it was only in small doses
He's that rare player that doesn't like working, doesn't enjoy playing and just wanted to make money easily and football was that option for him as he naturally was good at it at a younger age. As he's got older his lack of application has been his undoing.
Tony is a great example of the old phase "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" plenty of players with far less natural ability have had superior careers due to his lack of dedication

I wonder if he will ever look back and have regrets about that. It's not too late for him to carve himself out some sort of career but I severely doubt that he has any desire to do so.

Watt? He played for us waaay more times than that.

Interesting to note the period 2011-2014. Tony scored 22 goals in 55 games, since then he has scored another 22 goals, but it has taken 139 games to do so. I imagine some of his coaches and mentors feeling quite exasperated with him.
I can think of countless ex-players who are way more worthy of interest than that weirdo!
I have a list of over 50 clubs on flash scores were ex cafc players play now, that I like to keep track of the progress off, this go from quality players like JBG and Gomez to players who hardly played like Fanni and Koc
But to me they are ex CAFC players and I am curious as to how they do, I have now removed CSKA Sofia and added Motherwell in case Watt signs for them
50 clubs seems a little excessive but each to their own.
There is alot of ex players out there haha
For example tonight there is:
Cardiff- Etheridge Reading- Morrison Derby- Bielik(Although injured tonight) Northampton- Mcormack and Marshall(neither playing tonight) Dover- AMB starting and Cumberbatch(on bench)
Then abroad
Breman- Velkovic Valencia- Coquelin Le Mans- YTU(on the bench) Guingamp- El Hadji Ba (on the bench)

What happened to Pete The Pole?
Currently playing for Piast
Scored in a couple of friendlies in Jan but hasnt played in their last couple, their first league game is Saturday so will be interesting to see if he is a starter for them
I'm going to predict that he will go full circle and that his very last club will be Airdrie. You never know that might just be the catalyst for a final hurrah. Not that he's had that many "hurrahs" in his career.
Great on his day........problem was his day was very few & far between. Loved seeing him run at players & still think his best position is in midfield - a sort of Gordon Strachan player.
At the moment he is only known for scoring the winner against Barcelona for Celtic & for keeping the ball in the corner for 2 mins against Forest for us.

I get that people are interested in how he does.

"hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"
plenty of players with far less natural ability have had superior careers due to his lack of dedication
Interesting that the BBC used a photo of him playing for us. Not a flattering photo either!
the most used sentence in football
