FA CUP SOON-PLAYERS DOING THE ROUNDS

The FA Cup extra preliminary round is coming up and it's barely August. So why not delve into the Non-League list to see what's what and who is playing where. I am heading to the Yorkshire coast at the weekend for a day or so and I have found a Cup tie which is only 20 minutes drive away from my planned destination. Dare I go to Guisborough to watch their tie against Stockton Town FC? Might be a possibility. There might be an old pro knocking around to brighten a tie.

I have written about Julio Arca doing his stuff for South Shields  in the FA Vase last season. Why not have a search on the blog to see what he achieved with them?
Jermaine Pennant has shacked up with Paul Konchesky and Jamie O'Hara at Billericay Town...I have done them too, but for today here is an overhead kick from O'Hara.....

Luke Chadwick is at Soham Town, Darren Carter was at Forest Green Rovers and now Solihull Moors (probably wanted meat in his burger), Paul Merson spent time with Tamworth, Whitton Albion and Welshpool Town, before he retired to punditry and Jonathan Greening once of York City, Manchester United etc etc....found himself back at York City at the end of a 20 year career. He left the club by mutual consent having been sent off for elbowing an opponent against Portsmouth in November 2015 and is finishing off at Tadcaster Abion.
Greening isn't being paid and he is re-gifting his expenses to the club.

Lee Hendrie appeared on my list so I researched him and found out the issues that he and his family have had to cope with they he realised that he was on the slippery slope. From Aston Villa in 1995, when he was sent off on debut, he had over 250 appearances and then he played successfully with a number of prestigious clubs, winning a full international cap, but then the rot set in. He went through Daventry Town, Kidderminster Harriers, Chase, Redditch Utd, Tamworth, Corby Town, Highgate Utd and Basford Utd. He has had his problems as this clip will reveal.
