Former U's 13:45 - Feb 26 with 110359 viewsRSCOSWORTH

We love our former U's, well most of them anyway, so thought I'd start a thread where we can keep up with them.

Thought I'd kick things off with a happier moment for Matt Jay in Essex as he scored a long ranger against Chelmsford at the weekend. It wasn't a joyous return though as Torquay shipped two late goals to lose 3-2 after leading 2-0.

Jay also got the equaliser away at Weston-super-Mare last night. Hopefully he's starting to enjoy his football again.

Vital match for the Dale today. Losing 0-1 they make a triple substitution bringing on JK Gordon, L Hannant and I Henderson.

Henderson and Hannant both score to turn the game around and keep Dale’s promotion on track.

With two games to go and only two points behind York, their last game of the season is….
……..at home to York!!!!!!


It’s still on too, scoring a 99th minute winner at Braintree in a game that featured a host of former U’s players.

Ian Henderson provided the assist for a 95th minute goal to send Dale back to the football league, but York didn't read the script, and equalise in the 13th minute of added time to break their hearts. Ironically, it was probably the pitch invasion that might have been their downfall.

Ian Henderson is now 41, and he played his 450th game for Rochdale today, in two spells after he left us in 2013. With 61 games for Salford in between.

Bradley Ihionvien on the POSH 'available for transfer' list.

I don't think McDonalds are hiring at the moment?

May be they are trying to raise enough cash to put a bid in for Samson (POSH that is, not the golden arches).

20 goals in 36 appearance, whilst having lumps kicked out of you is pretty impressive for a crocked, RC stiffed, has-been.

.....waiting for people to pile in with 'Nat League South' doesn't compare. Probably the same people that took umbrage when I suggested that Isthmian League Averely FC were a pub team.

It's all ifs and buts, but half a dozen goals from the old boy and a few assists in the second half of the season, after Mbick's injury, might have got us into the play-offs.

Although you could argue that Mbick wouldn't have been here if we'd shown respect to LT.

I think I right in saying that we only have two regular starters from last season under contract for next year?

Tucker and Lisbie and one of those are most likely up for transfer.

I’m guessing that must be unprecedented?

I believe that is true but I also heard that we have an extension option on every player who joined permanently under Cowley for the 2024-25 season so that increases the list somewhat (Payne, Macey, Hunt, Anderson and Bishop I think).

I reckon most of those (including Tucker and Lisbie) will be targets in the summer.
