Anth used to get the 305 bus to games.

 

I've seen Krul on the 306 a couple of times now.

Paul Stephenson looked great when he first hit the scene - pacey and not frightened to take on the fullback and beat him. Never quite recovered from being sacrificed to Millwall (by Jim Smith, IIRC).

 

Ian Bogie - perhaps too much expected at the time. He was seen as heir-apparent to Gascoigne (when he went to Spurs), but again, probably suffered from the pressure.

Viana isn't anywhere near s*** tbh

 

Is too

 

Dean Bowditch also

 

Dean's brother Ben was at Spurs, the first player Spurs put straight on to a professional contract bypassing YTS.  Went downhill doing illegal substances, sacked from Spurs, then Barnet, last I heard sacked from Woking.  Waste of a talented CB, was captain of the England u20's when Spurs got shot.

 

Don't know what happened to Dean.

Seems like he's with Cambridge City now.  Maybe he's got himself sorted out now, hope so, but threw away a chance of a lifetime.  Stupid really.

Chopra

Dyer

Ramage

Ameobi

Pattinson

 

IN particular Pattinson !

 

All shite!

 

 

Chopra has turned out to be shite? 22 goals during the first season he's actually been given a chance in - he couldn't have done much more.
