I've noticed his time at Diamonds seems to have been erased from his Wikipedia page.

Fixed.

Aaron O'Connor signs for K*ttering to replace Sam Smith who is departing to Australia.

Just seen that. That's hilarious considering his obvious dislike for K*ttering as a Diamonds and Luton player.

It's hard not to look on enviously at the team K*ttering have assembled, but someone there must surely be hemorrhaging money paying that wage bill. Rene Howe, Kaid Mohamed and Aaron O'Connor in the same Step 3 team. Christ. All 3 of those are at least 2 leagues lower than they should be based on ability, if not 3!

I quite agree - any of those three could be playing at Conference level - indeed I think all three of them were playing league football quite recently.

The odd thing is that if you look at the poppies forum its all doom and gloom - you wouldn't think for a minute they've splashed the cash for KM and AC in the past week.

No loyalty in football anymore. That went out the window when sol Campbell left spurs for arsenal!

That's a bit unfair. We are talking about a player who needs to earn a living, and if K*ttering are the club prepared to pay him more than other clubs then he'd be a fool to turn them down because of some history from ages ago, relating to a club that went bust while he was playing for them.

Let's be honest, whether your at the top of the game or playing for a Sunday league team there is no such thing as a loyal player. Football is all money related and as long as they are getting paid their millions from somewhere they won't give a flying f who they sign for. Rivals or not...

Obviously it's a bit different for non league, but AC is hardly going to give 2 hoots about his time at Rushden and Diamonds. Like players at any low level and like formic said they too have a mortgage and families to support. Chances are if you asked Yannick Bolasie about his time at Rushden and Diamonds he would say who??

Gutting to see Az sign for the more ambitious side in East Northants.

Club legend - if every member of that 2009/10 side shared his endeavour and ability level we'd probably have gone up and who knows what that would have meant for our future. Still to this day have nightmares about Craig Farrell coming on at the Kassam for him. All the best.

We're no less ambitious than K*ttering are IMO, we're just building a solid foundation for the future and not throwing silly money at players.
