Sort of on the same subject Trevor I sat down last night to watch the Peterborough Sheffield W play off first leg with 3 ex Barnet players representing Peterborough. Well how proud was I Jack Taylor scoring the first goal plus one off the line and then man of the match, Ephron laying on the fourth goal and Ronnie Edwards steady as a rock at the back plus we as a club had about 3 mentions in connection with where they had come from. Just shows the complete other side to what you were talking about in your article , three guys who have made it from the lower level and will most probably go on to even bigger and better things. Always said if you can turn a hobby you love into something someone will eventually pay you to do you are very lucky, problem is in football it is all too short for many, but then I suppose you can always try going into Heart attack territory as a Manager.

I watched it as well, just because of our ex 3 boys and they played very well all of them.
Certainly still gems around non-league football, you just have to look a little bit harder sometimes to find them.
A really thoughtful piece Trevor - thank you.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it.
Turnover at Non League level in managers and player is really high. It’ll be a busy summer for sure Trev!!
Yeah, I think even more so this time around, those lost years of games are starting to bite for some I feel
