saints-cris Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Was actually wondering this myself the other day.. nice one. Mad how some are flying so high, and the others probably barely making £50 a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 (edited) Good read that. What was interesting is our players have either done fairly well in the top two divisions or completely faded out of professional football with very little in-between.

Super_Saint Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Great read, interesting to see how far they made it. "Shane Supple – Retired. Now a Gaelic Football professional." - Isn't Gaelic an amateur sport? Strange move if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Great read, interesting to see how far they made it. "Shane Supple – Retired. Now a Gaelic Football professional." - Isn't Gaelic an amateur sport? Strange move if it is. I remember reading that Shane Supple specifically walked away from football because he'd had enough of it and it wasn't what he expected it to be. You have to admire that really... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/ipswich_town/8211586.stm "deep down my heart is not in the game any more and I'm not going to go into work every day trying to convince myself that it is, so it's the right time for me to walk away. "I suppose you could say that I have fallen out of love with the game and when that happens I've always said to myself that I wouldn't hang around."" Excellent article by the way.

egg Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Cracking article - thanks. The ones that got away were Sparv and Kritchell. Sparv oozed class whenever I saw him. Kritchell had bags of ability but injury ruined a promising career. Who was in charge when we let Sparv go? Whoever it was should be shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingwing Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 Oh I remember the other one I meant to point out, under the Leon Best entry you have ended with the sentence "He has represented Eire at senior level" but Irish is not used to describe Irish football for neither the North (obviously) or the Southern team (never sure why but the word Eire is just not used in that context as it tends to represent the idea of an all Ireland state opposed to the separation of states). So really it should say "He represented the Republic of Ireland at senior level" (especially as he's not Irish born too) Interesting read though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dronskisaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 Enjoyed reading that - thanks! Couple of them have ended up at a local (to me) non-league team - Lowestoft Town who also have Boncho (sp?) Guenchev's son playing for them..there has always been a strong link between the two even back when I used to play...Laurie Sivell, Terry Butcher and Richard Money were players who went the other way back then.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 Good informative article and well researched too. Amazing no one from the Ipswich squad "made" it big time. Thanks for sharing it. As you seem to be hot on research how about trying to find Lee Powell (little Welsh winger from the 1990s) for me - I have looked everywhere.
