Srg Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Simple thread to recall all the forgotten footballers of both yestayear and today... should be interesting who we can remember. I'll start... ".thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/00154/SNS2658B_154834a" alt="SNS2658B_154834a"> Hassan Kachloul - Morroccan, now 40 years old, played 85 times for Southampton and 22 times for Villa. Not quite as famous as his Morroccan team mate, Chipo. According to Wiki, he had a trial with us in 2005 and retired when we didn't sign him! Now a property developer!

Srg Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 "http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/pictures/2008/05/21/mendonca460" alt="mendonca460"> Clive Mendonca - Most famous for his spell at Charlton, he was a prolific striker, scoring 40 in 84 games for them. In 2004, he was voted as Daveo's Grimsby's cult hero. Having received money from the PFA to train to become an oil rig worker... he now works in a Nissan factory in Sunderland - aged 45.

David Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Was expecting a thread of players like Jack Rodwell not retired footballers. This has been a huge disappointment for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 "http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/11/10/article-0-01931FD50000044D-706_468x363" alt="article-0-01931FD50000044D-706_468x363.j"> Matt Jansen - Now 36 years old and playing for Chorley. Once thought of as the next big thing following a call up for England, in which he never got to play due to illness, he suffered a motorcycle crash which left him in a coma for 6 days. His career spiralled downwards from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 ANDY REID Career highlight - playing for Blackpool 5 times. Was part of the Ireland squad until upsetting Trapattoni. After the win against Georgia in Germany in 2008, Trapattoni’s first competitive game, the team were allowed a couple of glasses of wine in the hotel bar and Andy, as he always did on trips, got his guitar out. It had just gone midnight when Trapattoni came into the bar, told the barman to stop serving drinks and – to the astonishment of the other residents - told Andy to put the guitar away. There was a brief scuffle but Trapattoni was able to over power Andy and take the guitar off him. Reid always felt that this was the reason for his subsequent exclusion from the squad.

Alex W Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Wasn't there a facebook group with all of these types of players listed? Forgotten players of the 90's etc? The group was pretty popular too if memory serves, you could probably just copy and paste them from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Did anyone ever get to the bottom (pardon the pun) of whether or not Ars Bandeet actually existed or whether he's just an urban legend? Supposedly he was an Algerian footballer in the 70s..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
