Whitey Grandad Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 I expect the fans of Lewes do. I was wondering about him just the other day, so thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 (edited) Told you he was sh!t. In fairness, he's now 35. I'm pretty sure 10 years ago he would have been a useful player at our level. Edited 4 February, 2011 by Saint_clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 (edited) Erm.... http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/8766350.Bombshell_for_Rooks_as_Wright_retires/ Bombshell for Rooks as Wright retires 10:00am Monday 3rd January 2011 LEWES boss Tim O’Shea will urgently seek replacements after losing a key member of his squad. Jermaine Wright told O’Shea on Friday he was retiring from football for family reasons. http://therooks.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lewesfc&action=display&thread=5549 "I think we have already missed jermaine wrights ability to retain possesion in centre midfield.Yes his mobility was not what it once was but his touch was still there and he was a good talker.No coincidence that the 5 games he started we took 7 points from 15.Lets be honest for a guy with such a good league history if he was still 100% its unlikely he would be with us.

JackFrost Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 he left us, made 3 appearances for blackpool in one season. Failed to break into the first team at Croydon Athletic and has since made a handful of appearances for Lewes in 4 months. Just think if we'd have got through the play-offs, Burley would have been playing him in the PL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostBoys Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 For 1 minute I thought he had come back - I still rate him and Makin as the worst players ever signed by SFC in recent history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBenali Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Yes his mobility was not what it once was Jeez, I dread to think what it's like now then! Wonder if he can still pass 10 yards sideways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 For 1 minute I thought he had come back - I still rate him and Makin as the worst players ever signed by SFC in recent history I'd be inclined to agree with you on that; and they're up against some pretty stiff competition. I'd be careful using phrases like "worst player" though. You can't say that anymore, it's very un-PC and some people can get highly offended by it. The correct PC term would be "scapegoat" "whipping boy" or "example of why so many Saints fans are c**ts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Site Agent Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 AHHHHH. I will be starting a job in Beddingham, near Lewes soon. What a small world. I would have popped down and watched him too, and reported back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 5 February, 2011 Share Posted 5 February, 2011 Ive got nothing against JW but looking back he was terrible for us in the Championship which tells you something about George Burley's "eye" for a player - I think JW played most of his football under Burley, and it stands as a reminder of how bad a manager he was for us.

(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 5 February, 2011 Share Posted 5 February, 2011 we could with him back...as we are running out of whipping boys What he said. Jermaine was nowhere near as bad as people would have you believe, he played in an unglamourous part of the pitch and his job was to tidy it up and lay it off, a job he did reasonably well. Because he didn't run around as much as Jhon Viafara he got slated while Viafara (who was unmitigated sh1te) was hailed as some sort of hero! despite constantly stitching his midfield partner up by going missing upfield on one of his gangling runs that inevitably came to nothing. That's my view anyway, perhaps not 'bandwagony' enough for most peoples tastes though so I won't be thanked for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following Saints too long to be worried about whether players are s**te or not; actually (pre-internet) I still remember some fans slagging off MLT for being lazy, can't tackle, constantly moaning at the ref, etc - I'm sure older readers will have similar tales of woe about all the "greats" ("that CB Fry couldn't jump onto a mantle-piece if you paid him"!) We've had some good teams and some crap teams - it's the nature of football - Jermaine was a Saints player and so is "one of us". I'd buy him a beer and thank him for his service...

The ugliest, least sympathetic and zero effectiveness scheme though a national park Ive ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
