The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Through boredom i've been looking through this. It also details where players went after they played for us, some of more interesting ones i've found:

Petr Mikolanda - Had to retire aged 22 after a kidney condition AND a heart condition were discovered.

David Mehew - Manager of Gloucester City in Blue Square South.

Paul Bastock - Still first choice at St Albans, aged 40.

Trevor Benjamin - Player/Manager for Morpeth Town.

Tony Stokes - Spent last season in the Hungarian Premier League, playing for Ujpest.

Mark Wright - The main character in The Only Way is Essex. But we all knew that ;)

Mikolanda and Stokes interest me!

I remember Mikolanda having a shot away at Cobblers where it came off the underside of the bar and I thought it was in, and I liked Tony Stokes as a player, very busy!

Mikolanda's half way line goal is something I'll never forget

Just a little half turn in the centre circle and BANG.

One of the most audacious goals I have had the privilege to see at Nene Park.

Leo Roget. The best Defender we've had. I still remember his performance against Stevenage when we lost 3-1. Pure class.

Stuart

I can't beleive Bastock is only 40. I thought he was older than that, he's been around for ages!

Mikolanda's goal was a cracking effort, anyone gota vid of it?

It appears he came out of retirement too this year and plays for FK Viktoria now ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FK_Viktori ... i%C5%BEkov )

Stokes now plays for Concord Rangers

Concord Rangers F.C. is a football club based in Canvey Island in Essex, England. They played in the Isthmian League Division One North in the 2009/10 season but won promotion to the Isthmian Premier League for the first time in their history after beating Enfield Town 3-1 in the Division One Play Off Final on the 1st May 2010.

One of our other successful striker's taking time out for personal reasons atm..

Paul Bastock played for the Poppies back in the early 90's and was in their team when they lost 3-1 away to Blackburn Rovers, in the FA Cup third round, back in January 1991 shortly before Kenny Daglish took over as manager. The following season Blackburn won the Premiership.
