Amazed to see Alan Smith still plying his trade at Notts County.

Lee Trundle scored a hatrick for Llanelli a couple of weeks ago (Just seen he's got 20 goals in 8 games!)

Billy Paynter scored the other week.

That should interest the No Imagination Crew.

Saw the first post and thought surely not, it's nearly 25 years since he scored the opening goal in that famous end of season game at Anfield!

Yes, I was amazed to see that. Good player, no doubt, but I recall one of the retired refs in his book describing him as "very angry young man". He did seem to be unnecessarily aggressive, as I remember.

Too many players called Alan Smith !

I assume it refers to the bleached blond one rather than the ex-Arsenal one.

Barry Hayles (aged 44 I think) came on as a sub for Chesham in the FA cup the other day

(Fun fact: his first name is Barrington)

Anders Svensson retired at 40 last year. Scored an amazing free kick against Argentina in the world cup in 2002 or 2006.

Deon Burton and Jamie Cureton still play, for Eastleigh

I read somewhere that Stuart Pearce played for someone recently

He signed for Longford Town, dubbed the worst team in England, to raise the profile of grass roots foobtall. He played 1 game for them in March 2016 as a second half substitute.
