This guy has scored a lot of goals in non-league but no league club has taken him on other than a brief loan at Northampton. Anyone know why? seems odd.
His stats on Wikipedia are impressive - but he's already 29.

Probably because he was born 29 years ago.

Um...

And Grimsby where he started...

And Boston when they were a League club...

And Chester when they came back into the league.

Don't think there's any mystery... a check on his goals ratio seems to indicate that although he's a great striker at non-league level and his goals have been instrumental in taking his side up, the next season at League level he struggles to score many.

He also fell out with Boston's manager and spent some time with a nasty ankle injury at Burton, which may have held him back.

ah thanks for pointing out boston and chester were league clubs at the time didnt spot that.

case closed it seems!
dont think I'll be applying for any scouting jobs

But there manager was Steve Evans who everyone falls out with.

Best place for banter as long as you can avoid the abuse that some people like to hurl.

It's (almost) the same banter, just different users!

Hope you're well Ghosty; still watching obscure hiphop-samurai films?

 

[North London Bee]

A bit like Garazioli, too good for non league but hasn't really cut it at FL level

 

[SQUELCH]

He fell out with a few managers as well. Our league or the one above is his level.

I'm still here.

Good to see you back and hope you're back to stay.

I have no idea why he didn't make it into league football, but at 29 it would seem the best part of his career has passed him by.

Last time Clare was at Boston, you could well be right because Evans was their manager, but the falling out I was referring to was couple of years before that when the manager was Neil Thompson.

 

[Jimbee]

Isn't he also fat?

 

[nocoat]

:no: He is big boned.

Thats what people like that say isn't it :banana: :banana:
