The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I read in the ET that Fleetwood have got a seddon playing for them . Can anyone confirm that this is Gareth Seddon?

Yeah it is. Didn't they sign him for K*ttering for a fair bit of money?

About 20k i think.
Decent player, will always score goals.

I don't know about calling Seddon a reject as such since it was due to injury and thus not being able to play a single game that we let him go, rather than due to performances. The problem is he got reactive arthritis when we signed him and it apparently wasn't until 2006 when he got over it. Had he not got that it injury, it probably would have been a different story.

yes ur right sorry i tend to get him muddled up with kevin branniff :L

but he played for the scum ;) and viera will definately be a threat

Fair enough.

TBH, I don't hold it against him for playing for K*ttering. By that I mean it wasn't as though he went there shortly after being here and it was injury that prevented him from showing us what he could do. If we're going to damn him purely on K*ttering, we've got to damn Darren Collins, who is still a legend in my eyes. Also we've got the ET talking about Rene Howe coming in.

I think with ex players, it really depends on a mixture of thing like what their performance were like here (in terms of effort put in), the nature of their exits and how they act towards the club after leaving.

Kevin Braniff wasn't too bad.. was he? :S

He was awful for us, but I'm sure he made his Northern Ireland debut a while ago...playing at Portadown now I think...
