Where are they now?

[Gb160]

Sedge was an Enfield lad.

Ive told the story on here before..

It was just before he signed for us that my lot were off to Southend on a beano, the pick up was The Bell/Chimes down in Enfield - I think it's a Turkish restaurant nowadays.

He was on the coach with some of his buddies, nice enough bloke.

This standout memory of the day was that my mate had obtained a pair of trophy knickers from some old sort - I don't know why he was still in possession of them on the coach home but I do remember they ended up on Sedgeley's head.

Thats at the end of my road, it used to be a right old dive...when I was little my nan used to live in the little flats opposite and every Saturday night we'd sit looking out of her front window at all the fighting.
Good times.

Weren't there stories about Steve Sedgley a few years ago about an incident in Barbados? He was accused of using racist language during an argument with a couple of ladies over a parking spot?

Weird start to this thread. Bloke in the office was talking about a crime novel he'd been reading set in Ancient Rome in which the detective went by the name of Marcus Didius Falco, at which point I said "Fuck off, he's never called Mark Falco", but turns out he is. Who knew?

Anyway, that got me thinking. Where is Mark these days? Quick look at Wikipedia tells me that he works with John Pratt, clearing asbestos from Hertfordshire. Which is a bit random, but not every ex-player can talk bollocks on Sky, BT, Talksport or the BBC (even if it sometimes feels like it), so some of them must be doing something a bit more everyday.

And I'd have left that thought there, if I hadn't come across this video with Allan Nielsen. Turns out that Allan is now a life coach, which is a bit of a made-up job, but it keeps him off the streets and means he's really invested in the concept of helping others, which is nice. Sadly for Allan, he can't say 'others' and, in a weird turn of events, a couple of Danes are ripping the piss out of Allan for this. Or at least I think that's what's happening as I don't actually speak Danish.

Anyway, enjoy Allan and his lutrine friends and, while you're doing that, let me know if you know what any other ex-Spurs are up to these days? The more random the better.

I've given you rep for your fabulous use of 'lutrine' which is my favourite of all the words used to describe animals.

What a sad ****

To be fair that's obviously a sponsored car (if someone offered me a free car to drive, even if it had Fred West's name on it, i'd probably drive it) but however big a bellend he might be, he's Spurs through and through. He was on Come Dine With Me a while back with Frank Worthington, Carlton Palmer & John Fashnu (amazing episode, was proper funny) and was flashing the Audere Est Facere tat on his fore arm - came across like someone i'd actually enjoy having a pint with, but I can imagine he'd be a nightmare after six or seven.

Needs a bit of updating. Bent is no longer at Villa and Bunjecevic is no longer.

I read as far as ‘b’.

Yeah, I found more when I started looking :-(

Neil Ruddock still feels the need to be recognised in a not so discrete way.... He's also an inspiration for any fat lad that it's always possible to pull a decent looking bird now matter how many extra pounds you may be carrying

He was on an episode of Don't pay or we'll take it away not that long ago. His missus was a proper piece of work, screaming at the bailiffs about how they were upsetting her kids, throwing water over them etc as they just sat quietly waiting for Razor to return and then he came out with the infamous line of, "do you know who I am". All over a £3k unpaid dog kennel bill or something.

I thought this might be a good read with your morning coffee:

Cameron Lancaster came through the Tottenham Academy with Harry Kane and actually made his debut before the England striker before things went downhil.

Kyle Walker’s playing for some team up north now

Whatever happened to that Danish fella we had. Couldn’t beat the first man at corners, had an unwarranted reputation as a free kick specialist but otherwise was the bomb?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espen_Baardsen

After retiring, Espen Baardsen went travelling around the world for a year, before studying for a degree at the Open University. [5] He is currently a partner and fund manager for a London-based asset management company. He is a frequent guest on the business television network CNBC.

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...tballers-who-voluntarily-retired-in-their-20s

Five years after retiring, Espen Baardsen described to the Observer in 2008 his final day in football: “I had been living out of hotels and suitcases for months. It was in a Tesco in Sheffield that I reached my lowest point. I went into Neil Warnock’s office to negotiate my wages and he offered me less than what a tube driver earns. I turned it down. I got bored of it. I felt unsatisfied intellectually, I wanted to travel the world.”

Of all the abandonments on this list, Baardsen’s seems the most pragmatic. He was a good goalkeeper, nothing more, who had gone to the World Cup in 1998 with Norway but played second fiddle at every club after, at Tottenham, Watford, Everton and Sheffield United. Just like 25-year-olds up and down the country, he was bored with his job, not making enough money and fancied a change. So he went travelling for a bit, got an Open University degree and got a gig in finance, managing “close to a billion dollars”, dealing in interest rate trades, foreign exchange rates and stocks. “You wouldn’t think a person working in the city could say this, but I’m more relaxed, five kilos lighter, fitter and healthier than I was at the end of my football career,” Baardsen added. “Football is stressful, try playing in front of 40,000 crazy football supporters who are happy or sad for their whole weekend depending on how you perform.”

a funny story for me concerning Espen (used to live in Broxbourne), a company that was meant to take him and his friends to London let them down. so he phoned a company I used to work doing mini cabbing for and asked for availability. the controller sends me off to pick him up, but Baardsen forgot to ask for a vehicle for 5 passengers, at the time I only had 4 passenger seats and found out we wouldn't have 1 available for a few hours.

so they all squeeze in with 1 not having a seatbelt, and tell me the name and area of London (not my greatest strength, and no sat nav), so I told him I knew how to get to the area but no idea where the road or restaurant was. he tells me no problem I will direct, so off we went. Now considering I wasn't being legal with the body count, the last place I needed to be dropping off was dead opposite Scotland Yard

Isn't he a wall Street stock broker now?

I entered this thread thinking it was the Eriksen thread

Isn't he a wall Street stock broker now?

don’t know it was a long time ago, didn’t get to talk to him to much.

I did forget to mention I told them I’d have to pick them up at the other end as no way was I doing the return and picking up outside the old bill hq.
