The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Ibrahim Sonko, Reading and Stoke (i think he is there now). Played at NP with Brentford

Im sure that we must of seen some now Premiership players when England u16s/u19s have played here.

He may of done, but the only time we've played them was in the FA cup at Valley Parade

Who did Tes Bramble play for in prem? Was he striker for Newcastle or am i making that up?

No that was his brother Titus. Tes didn't play in the Prem - I was trying to highlight the pair of players with famous brothers - Tes and Titus, Leon and Carl.

I remember Tes, seem to re-call he was a cheating little scumbag against us.

Didn't Tes miss a penalty against us for Southend, then miss the follow up too?

what about eion jess think he played for cobblers at np?

didnt he play for coventry in the prem?

Gary McSheffrey also played here when they beat us 3-0 in the league cup, aswell as Stern John i think.

Danny Shittu played here for QPR in the 3-3.

David Nugent played for Bury here back in 2002, maybe the only England international who has scored for England aswell, to appear at Nene Park in a competitive game?

Nathan Ellington played against us for Bristol Rovers. He looked awesome at Division 3 level.

I recently looked back through a programme from one of the England schoolboys games about 10 years ago, and hardly recognised any of the names (although Michael Malcolm was one of them, I remember him coming on as a sub and looking awful). I think the only current Premiership player from that squad was a certain Wayne Rooney from Everton, although he didn't actually play in the game!
