Think I was in the Townend for the Digby testimonial. Wasn't it against a Man U X1? Didn't recognise any of the Man U players but they were still too good for us.

I have the digby testimonial video, highlights of the match and his career with us.  I honestly can't really see any current players getting a testimonial with us.

   Nah Reeeeeves only had 8 years.

    Colin Calderwood could have had one when he was offered a new contract, but went to Spurs instead.

Post by: STFC_Chris on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:10:30
The squad from the back of the Program is:

Raimond Van Der Gouw
Kevin Pilkington (GK)
John O'Kane (DF)
Andy Duncan (DF)
Ronnie Wallwork (DF)
John Curtis (DF)
Terry Cooke (MF)
Michael Appleton (MF)
Phil Mulryne (MF)
Ben Thornley (MF)
Erik Nevland (FW)
Andy Cole
Karel Poborsky
Brain McClair
Jordi Cruyff
Graeme Tomlinson (FW)

In brackets is the probable team, although it was complete guess work. According to soccerbase, alot of them are still playing...mainly in the conference. I've never heard of John O'Kane or Andy Duncan. :|

I believe so i think he plays in Turkey or somewhere now. But this is the same McMahon that said Hassan Kachloul was shite when he came on trial and he ended up to be quality, and we ended up with Peter crackhead Holcroft.  :roll:

Cooke is at Colorado Rapids
Nevland is at Groningen
Wallwork is at WBA
Curtis was highly rated at one point but was released by Forest recently.
Mulryne was at Leyton Orient last season.

John o'Kane went on to play for Everton, and later Blackpool where I believe he played against us a few times.
Andy Duncan was a Cambridge Utd for a few years, captain i think

John O'Kane played for Bradford at the County Ground once.... (1-0 win, Steve Cowe with a nice finish)... O'Kane was booked for catching the ball after someone in the stands whistled loudly.

surely not, when was this?

Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 16:19:37
No. The only Sebastien we've had is that bloke Ruster a couple of years back. Wonder what happened to him?


Title: who was the last stfc player to have a testimonial with us?
Post by: Northern Red on Friday, June 8, 2007, 09:24:49
Ruster joined on a free transfer, but it later emerged his former club was due compensation. STFC were told to pay £350k or return the player - so we returned him.

Not sure where he is now....

Although he did have a trial with Stoke in 2004
