Claiming he could only play with someone stuffed up the front of his jumper? Thats it. Superb!! Thanks for that. Thought they were incredible.

Ethel The Tree Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 14 minutes ago, Groundhopping Owl said: Reda went to Eastleigh because they were the biggest club offering him a full deal, there were plenty of football league clubs who wanted him but they only wanted to sign him to a pay-as-you-play deal, there's enough money swimming around at Eastleigh that they could afford to take a punt on him. Still love the bloke. With hindsight, it seems like those FL clubs were right to be cagey He played his last game for Eastleigh in October so I presume he's been crocked ever since I remember watching him in the cup last season on tv, looked a bit clumsy tbf Ayo Obileye also played - came on as sub He's still there, 23yr old now (22 apps - 5 goals), one of a few of our ex-trainees playing regularly in the National League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopePiusX Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Danny Reet went on to represent the Yorkshire Region in UK's Worst Neck 2009, finishing a creditable second behind Ulrika Jonsson.

DIOGO AMADO ... remember him? He was part of that unexpected (and IMO unnecessary) influx of fresh talent that greeted our return to the Championship back in 2012 Portuguese midfielder who had just helped his loan side (Estoril) to promotion whilst collecting eight U21 caps along the way Unfortunately things didn't work out Naturally enough, I'm gonna blame Dave Jones' all-round demeanour but 'homesickness' was the official reason given for his return to Portugal after barely a month's worth of pre-season training He was immediately snapped up once more by Estoril and spent the next five seasons as a regular fixture in their side Clocking up 124 Primeira Liga appearances and scoring 5 goals - he even cropped up once or twice on last season's Loan Watch (for the opposites, of course) Now aged 27, he's decided to try his luck in Qatar's "Stars League" by signing for Al Gharafa Currently mid-table after 12 games 'Our Boy' has been ever-present for them so far and weighed in with 1 goal There's always a chance the dreaded homesickness might strike again but I dunno, maybe a nice healthy bank balance is good for that sort of thing If you can't get home sick in Qatar you can't get homesick anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it Chances of more regular starts? Possibly Weather, lifestyle? ... ... My favourite spot laying on the hillside at Shirecliffe watching the match for free. Pleased with the New ground though. The Hillsborough Park development is quite pleasing on the eye. The diversion of the Don and opening it up to shipping is a good Idea too.The new Hillfoot Bridge is quite impressive too conveniently linking Parkwood with Lower Walkley. See all Hallamshir Hospital patients get an unobstructed view of the ground too. See the Tree people won the day replacing Langsett and Kelvin Estates with a mature riverside forrest.

BEN SAHAR Israeli striker, brought in by Brian Laws as an 18yr old loanee back in 2008 (12 apps - 3 goals) Then like now, he was probably just another youngster to sign for Chelsea, get farmed out on loan a coupla times and then get shipped out In this case, his time there ended with a £1m move to Spain (Espanyol) A couple more loans followed - one back home to Israel (Tel Aviv), one to France (Auxerre) and then, then ... He was picked up on a free by Hertha BSC - managed by none other than our very own Jossie (small world, eh?) He was there two years but had another loan spell away before winding up in Holland (Willem II) He'd signed for two years there but was released after one and returned to Israel once again (2015) to play for Hapoel Be'er Sheva And that's where he is today, at 28 seemingly enjoying the most successful period of his career As a regular choice for the national side as well as joint leading scorer for side currently sitting top of the league Obviously owes an awful lot to Brian Laws then (... and Jos) Cheers mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
