Is he? I know he’s at Ajax now which doesn’t seem like the worst thing in the world.

Having a shit time there or something?


Last played for Billingham Synthonia a few years ago.

Definitely played against him. Played against Adam Mitchell and Rees Greenwood aswell. Both made 1 senior appearances for the first team. Both were at West Auckland at the time. Mitchell pulled the strings in the few games ive played against him very decent footballer

Think Greenwood has pretty much give up, coaches with an ex academy player. I want to say it’s Carl Lawson but can’t quite remember
 
What happened to Craig Lynch? Know he became a manager at a young age, was that down to injury?

I remember him playing a few PL games for us and always looked like a mascot had a won a competition. Not because he was poor, but because he was so skinny and small with an oversized shirt.

Thinking back, he was probably older than Rigg, Jobe etc is now yet he looked about 12.

Played one game for Esh Winning according to his wiki in 2016 but also looks like he’s played for almost every club in County Durham so could easily be another club he was at!

Was gonna say don’t take wiki as gospel for what players have played at that level but it’s probably his dad updating it 😂

I used to play right wing and missed a sitter there in about 2004, got loads of stick from the opposite touch line. Scored about 2 minutes later and made a shush gesture at them.

2nd half I was right in front of them - the pitch got about 5 yards narrower and the touch line was replaced by a couple of Rottweilers :lol:
