CB31 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've been writing something on Barnet and happened to see that defender Anwar Uddin plays for them. Now I remember reading something about him when he was a youngster at West Ham before he joined us in 2002, although I was only an 11/12 year old myself. Wikipedia has him down as not playing for us and leaving because we couldn't afford to keep him after the ITV Digital collapse. How long was he with us for and did he ever make it into the squad? I'm just curious as I can recall a fair bit of hype about him many moons ago and it was a few years after that before I heard about him again.

Inspector Lestrade Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Never heard of him, if that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdial Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Think he was with us for about a month - not sure he played. It was in the dark days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB31 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Maybe that cloud around him indicates that I dreamt him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedOwl Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Think he was with us for about a month - not sure he played. It was in the dark days! He definitely never played for the first team - though I assumed he turned out for the reserves because he was with us for long enough. He was going out with a page 3 lass at the time.

mrgund Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I remember him. Right back if I remember correctly? He was talked of as a decent prospect back in his West Ham days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthndav Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I saw him turn out for a non-league Hereford against Burton a fair few years ago now. Thinking about it I think he was on loan from Bristol Rovers) He looked like a beast of a bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 he was good on FM saw him play in the reserves for us, wasnt so great. Dont think we didnt sign him due to finance, more ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 He was tipped to be the next Bobby Moore. Mind you, the same guy who recommended him said that Leon Clarke would be the next Pele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nswowl Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 He was our first ever Asian player. Does that make him our best ever Asian player ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbridge_Owl Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I saw him play a few times for Dagenham in the Conference and he was solid enough at that level and led the defence well - I think he was their captain at one stage. He eventually lost his place as they climbed the leagues but they might need him back for their return to non league next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl_in_Hudds Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 i remember him in the reserves and seem to think he got a 1st team call up for a league cup tie but never played, i could be wrong about that tho ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
