John Bostock?
Ligue 1 with Toulouse. Been a bit of a journeyman since leaving Tottenham. Though largely a success. He has worked himself up from the second division of Belgium into Ligue 1 winning Ligue 2 player of the season on the way there.

Jonathen blondel?

Spase dilvelski?

Alton thelwell?

All my hopes rested on Tomas Pekhart.

Rohan Ricketts – plays in the moldovian national division......

Calum Davenport – just funny that he is playing in a league 9 divisions below the premier which is why I included him (not even going to bother linking him!)

Charlie Lee – Shame about this one, I remember seeing him in a youth FA cup game against Everton and was impressed but he just drifted away
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Lee


Rodrigo Defendi – just loved the name and I think that is why we bought him
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_Defendi


Leigh Mills – paid over £1m for him as a 15 or 16 year old, my Swindon mate was livid “next big star” she said.....retired aged 19 and now plays for his local club Winchester city. £1m player to Winchester city.....wtf?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh_Mills


Tomâš Pekhart – bags of goals for the youth teams and expected by SC members to be out next big thing.....oh well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomáš_Pekhart


Espen Baardsen – International caps and still retired to go backpacking!! 7 years out of the game and still only 32!

Milenko Ačimovič – big reputation, awful miss from 1 yard out, never seen again

It was odd with Callum Davenport, he was starting to become good under Jol (I think it was him) and the crowd were liking him then boom! Sold without any ITK or rumours flying around. His career went downhill quicker than Eddie the Eagle. I always thought he was professional on the pitch but had a lot of crap off it

I read that our old youth striker Cameron Lancaster, who now plays for Louisville City has just won the Golden Boot in the United Soccer League (USL), the second tier of football in the USA below Major League Soccer. He scored 25 goals in the recent USL season as he helped Louisville finish second in the league. With 41 career goals for the club, he is already their record goalscorer. He just made team of the week for 3 goals in 2 games. The first goal in this clip is ridiculous.




I'd completely forgotten about him until I saw an article about him recently:

https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/story-young-spurs-debutant-never-played-club/

I do remember that Wigan game, came on and looked very promising. IIRC he had a goal disallowed or cleared off the line or something. Shame it never worked out for him.

Didn’t he get multiple stab wounds and nearly lost his leg iirc?
Something about a fight with his sisters boyfriend

Anyone remember a winger called Alex Addai? He was born in 93. He signed for my local side Cheltenham town this summer and has made a few appearances.

Didn't he get stabbed in the thigh by his sister's ex boyfriend or something?

What really happens to Steven Caulker? I mean he plays for 4 seasons as a PL player, not so bad in Swansea and Cardiff, and decent enough debut season for us. One English cap. Now he is still 26 years old and without a club. He even fails in the Dundee FC. I cannot really understand his downfall

He's battling some inner demons....depression, gambling addict etc.

Feel for him because his future was so bright for us but you never know whats going on with a player and he's not been the same since he left our club

Caulker has signed for Turkish club Alanyaspor.

Moving to the party city of Alanya when you have had problems with alcohol maybe isn't the best idea.

Always thought Dorian Dervite was going to be immense for us.

Has had a successful career in the lower leagues for the likes of Charlton.
