Monk Posted 9 December 2008 Posted 9 December 2008 Just got this list sent over to me... some of these I've never even heard of... and I noticed a couple are out of date, but provides a bit of a laugh. It's shocking how many players we've had so far this century! (Apologies if this has been posted previously) Ade Akinbiyi - Burnley Ben Alnwick - back at Tottenham after Carlisle loan spell Ian Andrews - retired Pegguy Arphexad - played a couple of few games for Liverpool, Stockport, Coventry and Notts County, moved back to France and retired in 2005 Jonathan Ashton - Grays Athletic David Bell - Norwich Trevor Benjamin - at Hednesford Town after being released by Gainsborough Trinity and Northwich Victoria so far this season (spot the mistake at this link Marcus Bent - Birmingham Nathan Blake - loaned to Leeds, played a few games for Newport, retired Gábor Bori - Újpest, on loan from MTK Rufus Brevett – retired after a spell at Oxford Paul Brooker - Havant & Waterlooville Danny Cadamarteri - Huddersfield Stuart Campbell - captain at Bristol Rovers Peter Canero - went to Dundee United, then New York Red Bulls. Disappeared thereafter Lars-Gunnar Carlstrand - appears to have gone to Sweden to play for IF Elfsborg after which the trail goes dead. If any of our Swedish friends know better, please correct this James Chambers – Doncaster Jamie Clapham – Notts County Steve Claridge - went on to play for nearly as many clubs as Trevor Benjamin, became player-manager of Portsmouth, sacked after a few games, moved to Weymouth, sacked as manager of Millwall after a few weeks, eventually retired Clive Clarke – contract cancelled by Sunderland in February. Reported to be looking for a club Stan Collymore - moved to Bradford, then walked out on a contract with Real Oviedo. Now does media work and is possibly no longer mental. Recently took up dogging David Connolly – Sunderland Carl Cort – unattached, released by UD Marbella (Spanish third tier) at the end of last season Tony Cottee - left City and became the first outfield player to appear in all four divisions in one season. Retired after a short spell at Millwall Danny Coyne - Tranmere Richard Cresswell - Stoke John Curtis - released by QPR in 2007 after just 4 games Nikos Dabizas - Larissa (Greece) Callum Davidson - Preston Stephen Dawson - Bury Mark de Vries - SC Cambuur (Dutch second division) Brian Deane - retired 2006 after a trip to Australia playing for Perth Glory and a couple more games for Sheffield United Damien Delaney - QPR Louis Dodds – Port Vale Rab C Douglas - Dundee Dion Dublin - went to Celtic, then Norwich, then retired Lawrie Dudfield - Cork City Darren Eadie - retired due to injury in 2003 after just 47 appearances Matt Elliott – retired Kevin Ellison - Chester Kelvin Etuhu – still at Man City Graham Fenton - player/assistant manager at Blyth Spartans Les Ferdinand - moved to Bolton then Reading, left Watford in 2006 without making an appearance. Now coaching at Tottenham Marco Ferreira – Ethnikos Piraeus (Greek second division) Alan Fettis - Cheltenham Town goalkeeping coach/chief scout Tim Flowers - was assistant manager at QPR but left after Iain Dowie was sacked Martin Fox - has played for several non-league clubs, now at Loughborough Dynamo Steffen Freund - retired after finishing 2003-4 season at City. Briefly assisted Berti Vogts with the Nigerian national side Marton Fulop – still at Sunderland Scot Gemmill - retired after a spell at New Zealand Knights Patrik Gerrbrand - Fredrikstad, according to some Norwegian site Peter Gilbert - Sheffield Wednesday, trying to force a move back to Plymouth Phil Gilchrist - Woking player-manager Keith Gillespie - Charlton, on loan from Sheffield United Luigi Glombard – Niort, in Championnat National (aka, French Division 3) Tommy Goodwin - hard to track down. Left Hinckley United in 2005 due to injury Simon Grayson - Blackpool manager Joey Gudjonsson – Burnley Arnar Gunnlaugsson - ÍA joint player-manager with twin brother Bjarki Steve Guppy - on the coaching staff at Colorado Rapids Joe Hamill - Livingston Elvis Hammond - Cheltenham Kevin Harper – Dunfermline Jonathan Hayes – still officially a City player, on loan at Cheltenham Matt Heath – Colchester Sergio Hellings – KVC Westerlo (Belgian top flight) Lee Hendrie – Blackpool, on loan from Sheffield united Emile Heskey - Wigan (for now) Craig Hignett - retired 2007, has since worked for Middlesbrough and the BBC Colin Hill - brief spell in Sweden, finished his career at Northampton Lars Hirscfeld - CFR Cluj (playing in the Champions League) John Hodges - joined Plymouth, retired due to injury Geoff Horsfield – retired, now playing a much more serious game Steve Howey - retired 2005, managed Crook Town briefly before being sacked Stephen Hughes – Motherwell Iain Hume – Barnsley Paul Hyde - Hythe Town (Kent League Premier Division) Andrew Impey - left Coventry in 2006, hasn't played since Muzzy Izzet - retired from injury while at Birmingham Jason Jarrett – Oldham, on loan from Preston Nils-Eric Johansson – AIK Collins John – NEC Nijmegen Andy Johnson – Barnsley Matt Jones - Llanelli Pontus Kåmark - retired after spell back in Sweden, now doing TV work Hossein Kaebi – Saipa (Iran) Kasey Keller - will join MLS expansion team Seattle Sounders in 2009 Darren Kenton - Cheltenham Martin Keown - moved to Reading on a free, then retired Zsolt Laczko - Olympiacos Jacob Laursen - retired in 2005 after spells in Austria and his native Denmark Jamie Lawrence - now 38, on the books at Harrow Borough in the Ryman Premier. Runs a football academy Sascha Lenhart - went back to his native Germany to play for Wuppertal, moved to RW Oberhausen and drifted down the leagues before retiring Neil Lennon - on the coaching staff at Celtic Junior Lewis - Welwyn Garden City (Spartan South Midlands Premier Division) Neil Lewis - as far as I can tell, retired after one season at Peterborough. Nothing available to me suggests otherwise, but if anyone has better info let me know Josh Low – as mentioned before, Forest Green, on loan from Cheltenham Chris Makin - loaned to Derby, signed for Reading, Southampton, then retired Roberto Mancini - replaced as Inter boss by Jose Mourinho in 2008 Ian Marshall - lives in Canada, coaching Pasadena Eagles Lee Marshall - retired after breaking a leg while on loan at Hull in 2004 Alan Maybury – unattached Gareth McAuley - Ipswich Tim McCann - looks to have disappeared after being released in 2001 (not a joke) Patrick McCarthy - Palace Billy McKinlay - reserve team manager at Fulham Sam McMahon - appears to have left Stamford, but I can't confirm it Charlie Miller - Queensland Roar Lee Morris - Burton Stefan Moore - Kidderminster Paul Murphy - Newry City Lilian Nalis – Swindon Shaun Newton – unattached Jimmy Nielsen – Velje Boldklub Stefan Oakes - Lincoln Chris O'Grady - back at Oldham after a loan spell with Bury Garry Parker - retired and joined the coaching staff. Was in charge for a 0-6 League Cup home defeat by Leeds just before Dave Bassett arrived Tomi Petrescu - Tampere United. Has never met Wendy Turner Webster Matt Piper - retired due to injury Kevin Poole - Burton Albion Kevin Pressman - S****horpe (coach, but still registered as a player) Michael Price - recently left Hall Road Rangers to join Frickley Nicolas Priet - FC Sete 34 Spencer Prior - retired after spell at Southend. Now lives in Australia Martin Reeves - left Brackley in the summer, played in pre-season for Nuneaton Town, cannot trace any further Mark Robins - Rotherham manager Alan Rogers - left Accrington in 2007 Franck Rolling - played for six other clubs before retiring in 2001. A bit of a cult figure at Bournemouth Gary Rowett - retired from full time football in 2004, joined Burton in 2005 and spent 18 months there before retiring for good Simon Royce - Gillingham Robbie Savage - Derby Riccardo Scimeca - Cardiff Jamie Scowcroft - Palace Alan Sheehan – Leeds Frank Sinclair - Lincoln Stuart Slater - another one who never actually made an appearance, Slater dropped down the leagues before retiring at Weston-super-Mare in 2004 Ryan Smith - Southampton, on loan from Millwall Richard Stearman - Wolves Jon Stevenson - lost track of him after he was released by Boston at the end of last season Jordan Stewart - Derby Dean Sturridge - played half a dozen games for Kidderminster in 2007 before retiring Nicky Summerbee - released by Tamworth in 2006 Momo Sylla - released by Kilmarnock a year and a half ago. As far as I can tell, hasn't played since Gerry Taggart - on City coaching staff since last year Scott Taylor - moved to Wolves, Cambridge City and very briefly Hayes before retiring Stuart Taylor - Aston Villa Ben Thatcher - Ipswich Danny Thomas - Macclesfield Danny Tiatto - Queensland Roar Rob Ullathorne - played for several clubs, retired in 2007 Ian Walker – Bolton Steve Walsh - retired in 2003 after spell at Tamworth Julian Watts - played for now-defunct Sydney club Northern Spirit in the also now-defunct NSL, retired when the club closed 4 years ago Andy Welsh - Yeovil Mike Whitlow - left Notts County coaching staff in 2007 Jason Wilcox - moved to Blackpool, then retired Gareth Williams - Watford Tommy Williamson - Basingstoke Town Stuart Wilson - unbelievably hard to track down. Almost certainly still playing local football, but I can honestly say I don't know where Dennis Wise - Executive Director (Football) at Newcastle Nicole Wright - appears on several websites as having been in our squad against Charlton in 2002 but actually never existed. Was a typo for Tommy Tommy Wright - Aberdeen, has made six appearances Mark Yeates - Colchester Theo Zagorakis - president of PAOK. Winning captain at Euro 2004
