Tommy Traynor I think was one

 

I once had a chat with Tommy when he was working in the Stevedoring Dpt at Union Castle after his Saints career had ended, must have been on a holiday job myself I guess.Seem to remember him telling me he played for an Irish side in his early years,don't know if that counts though, must have only been a lad at that time.

Maybe, it was a long long time ago, I was a schoolkid at the time,we even played a few matches against crew sides from the Castle boats.My did Tommy give you a bolloaking if you screwed up,if he didn't then it was Bobby McCloughlin who was with Tommy in Stevedoring.

Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT

 

I'm confused a bit here, do they count as a one club man if they've played for ten years at one club, even when they've played for other clubs? If so Channon is in there but he played for a load of other sides, so he can't really be called a one club man in the true scheme of things.

David, you really are slipping if you think Windmill only played for Saints. You're forgetting Man City and Norwich and even his spell with the lot down the M27.

Painer won the 3rd division with Hereford after Lawrie Mac showed him the door (he played over 100 times for Hereford). Sydenham played for Aldershot, as did many of our players in those days, they were almost our reserves for a while.

Indeed.

 

As a resident of Cheltenham I've often floated his name to Chelt fans who remember his time with them in the southern league.Not too popular here I'm afraid.

 

I remember reading that ahead of an FA Cup tie he worked the players into the ground to make sure they didn't get a mauling, he was then criticised for taking things too seriously as they were a non-league club and only part timers.

Quite correct Vectis. I stand corrected.

 

I'd didn't read the question carefully enough did I ?.. Hence the faux-pas . THX.
