Where are they Now..The Forgotten Men

[qblockpete]

Over the past 10 years we've had a number of players who have played less then 20 games for us.

Any ideas where they are?

[Youvebeenrangered]

I would assume non league, or retired! Lets face it we havent had many world beaters over the past 10 years, before briatore and the rest turned up our team was full of free transfers, youngsters, past it has beens, and players nobody else wanted.....

Luckily Martin Rowlands and Gareth Ainsworth are two fantastic exceptions.

[qblockpete]

a few play down at Gillingham?

What happened to Ugo Ukah?

[danQPR]

Although he played more than 20 games, Sammy Koejoe, now plays for Wacker Innsbruck after a whole host of clubs after leaving us.
He run like he was holding a dump in.

Anyone know what's happened to Dou Dou?

is DouDou in America?

Jermaine darlington

Following a trial with AFC Wimbledon, Darlington agreed terms with the Dons in time for the game against Tonbridge Angels on 18 November, 2006,[4] making him the first ex-Wimbledon FC player to play competitively for AFC Wimbledon[5].

This move would prove costly for the Dons however as, due to an administrative error by the club in signing him, Darlington was initially ineligible to play for the club[6]. The penalties the club received for this mistake were severe. The Dons were expelled from two cup competitions, the Surrey Senior Cup and the FA Trophy, for which the club was ordered to repay £12,000 in prize money, and also received a hefty penalty in the Isthmian League with 18 league points being docked[7] in addition to a £400 fine & costs. This 18 point penalty was later reduced to just 3 points, after an appeal to The FA[8]. Darlington was released at the end of the season by new Dons boss Terry Brown.[9]

When was the last time we had to sell someone who went to a better club? It hasn't happened for a while. Most that have left have gone to leagues below which is an indication that the squad is improving year on year.

Steve Morrow
On February 3, 2004 he was named as an assistant coach to FC Dallas, but was forced to resign in late May due to personal reasons. However, he returned to the club on January 27, 2005 under coach Colin Clarke. When Clarke was fired on November 7, 2006, Morrow was named interim head coach. On December 11, 2006, FC Dallas General Manager Michael Hitch**** removed the 'interim' from his title. Morrow was fired as coach on May 20, 2008[1].

Was it Ben Askar we got rid of because we couldn't afford to house him anymore or something similar. Was great whilst we had him.

Chris Kwoyma

He spent 1996-97 on loan at Le Havre AC of France, making 7 appearances without scoring. He also spent time with Selangor FA in the Malaysian league. In August 1998, more than three years after his last game for Arsenal, he finally left Highbury on a free transfer and signed for QPR. He played for QPR for three seasons, scoring 30 times in almost 100 appearances before joining AaB Aalborg in Denmark in 2001, again on a free transfer. His contract was cancelled later that year after he failed to secure a first team place and he returned to England to trial for Grimsby Town and Sheffield United, but failed to secure a contract with either.

In July 2008 he was appointed as a reserve team development coach at Ipswich Town.[3]

Steve Slade


Slade joined newly relegated Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 1996 after manager Ray Wilkins paid Spurs £350,000 for the player. Slade remained at Loftus Road for over four seasons, although made more substitute appearances than starts at the club and also spent time on loan at Brentford. Released in 2000, he had a short, undistinguished spell at Cambridge United[3], before dropping into non-league football with Hayes.

Following his release from Hayes, Slade briefly played football in Iceland.[4] A trial at Grimsby Town followed and, although ultimately he did not land a contract, Slade featured in one game, appearing against Morecambe in the Football League Trophy.[5] Slade returned to non-league football after this featuring for Maidenhead United, before spending two separate spells at Barking.[6]



Félix-Michel Ngonge (born August 17, 1967 in Huy, Liège Province, Belgium) is a retired professional footballer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He started his footballing career in Belgium with Racing Jet de Bruxelles (4549), K.A.A. Gent (7), R.F.C. Seraing (17), R.A.A. Louviéroise (93) and K.R.C. Harelbeke (1615) at the late age of 28, before moving to Turkish side Samsunspor and then Watford in June 1998. During his time at Watford he became an integral part of the team scoring 11 goals in 56 games. He also played an important role in the 1998/1999 season in which Watford gained promotion to the Premier League for the first time, via the play-offs.Ngonge scored 6 goals in his first season at Watford, scoring the all-important goal in the first leg of the Division One play-off against Birmingham City. In the 1999/2000 season, despite starting the season well, scoring in the opening match of the season, Ngonge found himself out of favour at Vicarage Road and was loaned out to Huddersfield Town in March 2000.Following the relegation of Watford back to Division 1 ( Football League Championship ) Ngonge failed to make much of an impression and was subsequently sold to Queens Park Rangers for £50,000, where he played 15 games and scored 3 goals.Ngonge then finished his career at Scottish side Kilmarnock, where he scored 3 goals in his 12 games at the Rugby Park-based club.

DOMINIC FOLEY

By the 2001/02 season, he again found his opportunities of first team football limited, so again spent loan spells away from his parent club, this time at Queens Park Rangers (two spells), Swindon Town, Southend United and Oxford United.

He left England in 2003 for Portuguese club Sporting Braga, where he spent the season before returning to his native Ireland with Bohemians. He impressed in Bohs' Intertoto Cup game versus Belgian side KAA Gent, who signed him soon afterwards.

In Gent Foley soon became one of the key players in the team. In his first season he played 25 games, and scored six goals. In his second season he helped Gent reach the semi-finals of the Belgian Cup, and played 30 games in which he scored 10 goals.

At the beginning of his third season playing for Gent he was appointed captain of the team. In this season he scored 11 goals in 30 games. He also helped Gent qualify for the Belgian Cup final against RSC Anderlecht. In this final he opened the score after 6 minutes, however Gent went on to lose the final 2-3. The next season however, new coach Michel Preud'homme rarely used Foley in his starting eleven and with his contract ending that season, he was sold during the winter break to Cercle Brugge.


[edit] Transfer Controversies
Foley caused controversy in 2005 when he successfully had his contract with Bohemians terminated over the failure of payment by the club of "bonuses". He then immediately signed for Belgian club Gent, who Bohs had played only a few weeks previously in the Intertoto Cup, sparking rumours of secret meetings between player and management after the game.

In 2009 Gent accused rivals Cercle Brugge of secret meetings with Foley before he was allowed speak to clubs. With his contract due to expire at the end of the 2009 season, he was allowed speak to clubs from 1st January but Gent general manager Michel Louwagie claimed Foley had discussed a contract before this date, saying: "I don't at all appreciate the way Cercle have behaved in relation to Foley. It is against the rules." But on January 21, Cercle Bruges announced that Foley has signed a 3-year contract with them starting from June, 2009. On January 27 however, AA Gent and Cercle came to an agreement on an immediate transfer, during the winter transfer window.

Ross Weare

Ross Weare was a forward who signed for Rovers in 2001. He was brought from Queens Park Rangers by former manager Gerry Francis, who had seen enough of him at the London club to think he could do a job for Rovers. Unfortunately he suffered from back problems which forced his premature retirement at the end of his first season with the Pirates.

edit CareerRoss's career was a brief one, with his back trouble forcing his retirement at the age of 25. He began his career with QPR and spent three seasons with the first team squad there before joining Rovers in 2001 after having made only four league appearances. He went on to make ten league appearances for Rovers, and thirteen in all competitions, scoring just a single goal.
