Playing for Hemel Hempstead! :ohmy:

He is a classic one season wonder, at Bristol Rovers. That was his absolute peak.

He suffered horrendous injuries, and his baby daughter died.

He suffered horrendous injuries, and his baby daughter died.

Sure, there are often reasons why - he had that one glorious season and that was his career. It's a shame what's happened since, I didn't know about his daughter but that's obviously tragic and puts football into perspective.

Himself?
Maybe the manager?
From memory it was injuries that did for him.
Maybe the club doctor at the time? He went back to Germany.
I remember reading a blog from Orlandi who said he missed over three months through a misdiagnosis.

He looked a player when fit - very unlucky.

He's now tweeted the club doctor performed surgery on him casually one midweek day at the training ground rather than sending him to London.

Didn’t that doctor try and take legal action against the club for bullying or some rumour like they flying around just before he left ?
