Big Bren

Wikipedia quotes the book "101Stoke City Greats" as saying

"After leaving Oldham O'Callaghan took a degree in business administration at the University of Dublin. Having being Stoke's Professional Footballers' Association representative, he worked in 1989 as a community development officer at the Victoria Ground. He later became north-west Midlands area manager for Save the Children charity."

Tim Ryan and Andy Warrington were assistant manager and 'keeper respectively at Buxton the last time I heard.

Saw Ricky Ravenhill getting involved on the outdoor pitches at the KM recently, in between getting sent off for Northampton Town  ;)

And the lesser known ex-Rovers Ryan Burge and Harry Worley are at Newport County.

Paul Gilchrist certainly used to live not far down the road from me. If he's working for BMW then there's a good chance he still does 'cos they've got a socking big factory here.

Graham Watson anybody?

I recall Graham aka Willie ran a pub near Cambridge. Not sure if he's still doing that now- I suspect he's probably retired.

I recently did research into where our 1999-2000 team is now and what they did after playing for the Rovers. And am almost finished with another season.
If anyone is interested I can post a link if I am allowed.

Being a newbie member I don't want to be breaking any rules right now  :lol:

Ah, it was the Three Horseshoes then. I drove past that pub a few times when I was in Cambridge in 1986-87. I'm sure Graham would have been the landlord then. Pity I never popped in for a drink. I remember him when he was in his second spell with Rovers and I also recall him playing against us for Cambridge United.

1999/2000 was my first season supporting Rovers so it was great to read up on what became of our entire squad from that season. I still remember almost every one of those players (Andy Futcher, Martin Foster and Jason Minett I havenot thought about probably since they were here mind) and it was nice to see where they all are now. Well done for managing to collate all of this information!
