Steve Jenkins

[Bee H]

BBC Sport report on Forest Green Rovers ;

"But Rovers have received some good news with highly-rated goalkeeper Steve Perrin and 22-year-old ex-Brentford defender Steve Jenkins signing two-year contracts with the club."

I know he was here at the start of the 99/00 season but did he ever make a first team appearance for us ?

Wasn't he another centre half we signed from Southampton (a la scott Marshall) who did not cut the mustard??

Can we claim of Saints under the Trading Misdescription Act after they let us contract these guys calling them 'fit' professional footballers??

I'm sure Jenkins made a few first team appearances. He arrived on loan on the day that Jamie Bates left the club on transfer deadline day 1999. He earned himself a one year contract for the following season, but was basically not good enough.

i remember seeing him at left-back for one game, i'm sure...

we had him on loan for a whole season but sent him back after a few months as we were paying his wages and he wasn't good enough for the reserves!

I think you will find that was Warner. Jenkins did get a contract for 1 year and played once at left back & couple of sub appearances.

Yeah, David Theobald told me where he was and I was suprised. He took the 2000/01 out as he was recovering from a knee operation. Had a good part in a big brawl at Notts County from what I can remember!

Jason Pearcey is at Forest Green also...
