CB31 718 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Inspector Lestrade 23,839 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Never heard of him, if that helps! Link to post Share on other sites
whatdial 1,824 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 post Share on other sites
CB31 718 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Maybe that cloud around him indicates that I dreamt him up! Link to post Share on other sites
DamnedOwl 1,159 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 4,758 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 post Share on other sites

Anthndav 1,019 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 post Share on other sites
modboy 7,824 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 post Share on other sites
theowlsman 41,074 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 post Share on other sites
Nswowl 86 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 post Share on other sites
Redbridge_Owl 0 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 post Share on other sites
