For Sutton United !  :shock:

Ian Hazel, manager of Nationwide South club Sutton United, has added considerable experience to his squad by signing veteran former Wimbledon defender Alan Reeves.

Hazel, who also moved to capture ex-Kingstonian midfielder Bashiru Alimi (pictured) from fellow Nationwide South side Farnborough Town, turned to Reeves after the 38-year-old finally left Swindon Town where he was coaching the reserve side.

Reeves (pictured above), 38, has struggled for fitness after breaking his leg playing against Wycombe in the Carling Cup last August.
 

During a career which began in 1989 and included four years at then Premiership Wimbledon, Reeves has made more than 500 appearances to his name.

He joined Swindon in 1998 and became their longest-serving player in racking up almost 250 senior matches.

He left the club at the end of the season, after the sacking of Iffy Onuora and the appointment of Dennis Wise as manager.

Recently, Hazel released striker Carl Gibbs, goalkeeper Clint Davies and midfielder Ryan Crockford.

I lost a bit of respect for Reeeeves, when I saw him in a drinking establishment I frequent, out with Iffy and Woan.   Not because of that, but the rough dog he was trying to inveigle himself upon in a darkened corner.....come on  I know he's no oil painting and from Birkenhead, but even old footballers should have more class and leave the rough stuff to us mere mortals.

Didn't Jimmy Allan(?) continue to play football at non-league level after he was forced to retire following a broken hand? Reg will correct me no doubt.

I would have liked to see Reeves back at the club in some random token gesture role, he's a symbol of our recent demise.
