    Sad news.

    Speaking with a group of Dads of our young academy sides, (it was when the Luton manager Jones was coach of under 21's)
    the consenus was that the 3 best prospects were Nick Pope (who joined CAFC at about 16) Joe Gomez who was only 14 or 15 but already playing for U18 and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, who was impressing as a left back or left midfield.

    Joe and Nick are full England Internationals and unlucky Tareiq has to quit at 24.

    The fickled finger of football fate.
    And it's cases like this why I understood but didn’t agree with the actions of Taylor the selfish c**t

    You're a naughty man.
    So he’s not the messiah then?
    Who?

    Must be traumatic. Really balanced and honest statement; if that's a sign of his thoughtfulness and resilience then I've no doubt he will make the most out of his professional life.

    Thats a shame. Maybe he could come back home and get involved with the yoof, if that's the kind of thing he wants to do? Seems like a very grounded young fella. Good luck either way THD, I'm sure he'll be a success at whatever he wants to do next.

    Wonder if the club can find a role for him working with the academy? Thought he was going to make big strides in the game when he first broke through.

    A decent statement that, nice that he acknowledged Avory and Euell

    There does seem to have been an injury curse on a few of our recent and former LBs. Basey, Wiggins, Youga and Page all retiring early, or having massively blighted careers at Charlton, while THD picked up a career ending injury not long after leaving us

    Scored 170 off 143 balls with the bat today for Old Wilsonians 1st XI against Bromley 2nd XI 
    Athletes usually end up being pretty good in several sports, wasn't it Rob Elliott that used to open the bowling for someone in his younger days?

    Jake Reeves (AFC Wimbledon captain) used to play cricket with me and my old man when he was in his early teens for Old Brockleians

    Grant Basey I believe is almost down to a scratch golfer.

    Pleased Tareiq is still able to play cricket. used to play with him back in school days, and at Bromley Common CC. I knew him more as a cricketer than I did a footballer, so pleased his injuries have allowed him to continue playing
