Recommended Posts

Played with Simon Parker @ Maldon...

 

Quality player... Would be a great signing for you guys.

Very creative, and can dribble a ball quicker than he can run without!!!

 

Needs a haircut though! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

 

He used to play @ Heybridge and Gravesend as well I think!
