My son played with him when he was at Henbury OB along with Alefe Santos - both had great promise as lads but never really fulfilled their potential Never realised they were the same age. I played in the same age group and remember hearing of Alefe joining Henbury, never quite got the better of me though! The team I played for had quite the little rivalry with Henbury for a few years before folding. Saw this today www.facebook.com/share/QLZwtK5444pY3uDD/?mibextid=WC7FNe |

Anyone remember Drew Shore? Don't think he was related to Jamie. Unless I'm mistaken he captained us when we got battered by the Ted's days after the miracle of Pride Park and then disappeared without trace.
Dwayne Plumber from the same sort of era too looked a tidy player but think there were discipline issues.

Shaq went to University, gained an MBA, and appears to be doing very well as CEO of Rum Shack. Different person, same name. Our former player was playing for Henbury in Gloucestershire County League last season. Our Shaq Journey was definitely a little bit different to that one. Attachments:

Remember Mike Davis? Martin Paul? Tom White?.Mike Trought? Mark Smith? Lee Zabek? Proper gasheads if so. Yes remember them all. Played against Davis as a teenager. I think Tom White became an Estate Agent and Martin Paul played semi pro for a while, including Bath City I believe. Lee Zabek’s career ended early with a knee injury but he’s still local, I think his younger brother (Zac?) was also on Rovers books. Add to those Jon French and Matt Hayfield who I also played against in junior football as well as Paul Tovey a couple of years earlier. A few others from the same age groups went to City like Paul Milsom, Rob Skidmore, Jason Fowler and Matt Hewlett. Edit: Last I heard of Hayfield he was working as a physiotherapist in Iceland. My son is cousins to Lee and Zac known affectionately as Spike. |

Captain in a Bristol derby at 19 odd. I’m sure I remember that. |

What about Josh klein Davis? He got a lot of minutes for us as we were so short on strikers during the Trollope era.
Same with Ben hunt. Both made about 20 appearances somehow!

Simon Bryant would have been brilliant if not for his dodgy knee. He liked a beer as well of course but so did loads of others in that era.

Don't know how much truth there was in it, but heard that Manchester United were scouting Simon Bryant (and Nathan Ellington) following the 2-2 draw in Lee Martin's testimonial. Bryant didn't play that night, but would later make his debut and become a regular at 16.

I used to read the Sunday times back then and there was an article about the top 5 youngsters in the football league. Simon was in it and it referenced what you have just said. Brilliant player. |

His older brother Matt obviously a good player too and played 200+ games for City. |

Dwayne Plumber from the same sort of era too looked a tidy player but think there were discipline issues. Dwayne is a good friend of mine, as are all the Plummers. He is now a DJ/Record producer under the name Jay Anderson.
As Pirate has already mentioned his brothers have all played Football at various levels, Tristan was a very promising talent, one of the best in the country as a teenager, represented England at U16, U17 and U18 level. He was very close to signing for Arsenal at one stage. Here is an old clip of him as a 16 year old playing for C*ty's academy ,showboating before setting up a goal.
Tremaine was a decent non league player.
Twaine was a very talented player too, he has played at decent non league level, for Aylesbury, Frome Town and Bradford Town to name a few, he has been a teammate of mine at Sunday League Level for Bristol Weston United along with another Plummer, Neikell and other former Bristol Footballers you may remember Clayton Fortune and Jennison Myrie Williams, and also for Lebeqs where Carl Saunders(Billy Ocean) was also heavily involved at the time.
As Pirate also mentioned Tristan, Tremaine and Twaine can be found appearing on Goggle Box.
