Errol Flashman Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Former Wednesday youth product. Played for Rotherham after a couple of squad appearance for us. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Can remember a youth game against Newcastle, where our front five were, Hazel, Siggi Jonsson, David Hirst, Carl Bradshaw and Wayne Jacobs All went on to play league football at a reasonable standard When was the last time we could say that about our youth team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah. We were in the pinstripes and wasn't it something like 20 minutes per half so most of the games had very few goals? Lost on penalties in the final to Forest I think.

gazzatheowl Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) His lad used to play for my local team Scarborough athletic and now plays for Whitby town. Very good non league striker surprised some league two/national league clubs haven’t taken a punt on him.

Might be wrong though) had their own standing pens, IIRC we were in a pen next to the Tranmere fans, who took quite a few to be fair. You could walk all the way round the internal concourses in the stadium, fascinating for someone who'd never been to Wembley before and who thought it might be the only chance!. Sat in the seats just above where the royals normally sit and then planted ourselves behind the "home" dugouts. Saw a spectacularly drunk Wolves fan offering everyone out, coppers just laughed, as we all did, he passed out covered in his own p.1ss!!

I seem to recall a few sets of fans joining together to support a team whenever they were playing, but everybody, and I mean everybody, joining together and supporting whoever L**ds were playing. Never been liked have they!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Des is such a cool name, it's a shame you don't see it so much these days. Though maybe the popularity of the ITV show 'Des' may provoke a resurgence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrbluesky Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Met him on holiday once, he was a bit of ******** tbh. Anyway, random thread, I thought it was going to be about his untimely passing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did, but both played for our Northern Intermediate side The side that day, included 10 players who went on to make league appearances for us, or elsewhere. Think only centre back Kenney never made it, as far as I know. Would you get that now, 10 of our current U18s side, going on to forge careers as professional footballers. It was some achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
