Just thought I'd keep you informed about a few ex Rovers players as I've spotted a few headlines recently regarding one or two ex-players and I know fans always like to keep in touch with how they're getting on and how they're doing. Is there really life after Prenton Park??? Not really but I'm going ahead anyway.

First up, poor Richard Hinds. He wasn't the best player but has done well for himself despite this. Now at a big club in Sheffield Wednesday, he has unfortunately suffered an injury setback: http://www.4thegame.com/club/sheffield-wednesday-fc/news/223140/hinds_setback_stuns_owls.html

Talking of injuries, and full backs, Rayn Taylor's story is a little more positive. Having suffered so much in the last couple of seasons, Ryan is back in training after injury and is set to play for Wigan in a couple of weeks, before that deserved call-up to Engaland (says I): http://www.wiganlatics.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10429~1390503,00.html

Off the field, sort of, Wayne Allison (the CHIEF) is taking to management, well assistant management to be precise. He has taken up a role with local rivals Chester City to work alongside Simon Davies: http://www.chestercity-mad.co.uk/news/loadnews.asp?cid=TMNW&id=406238

My friend and yours (tongue firmly in cheek at this point) Sean Thornton has been on the move again. His career has gone from strength to strength since leaving us. He slyly went off to then-Premiership side Sunderland, to play about 2 games at most, the followed by Donny Rovers, Leyton Orient and now he turns up at the mighty Shrewsbury! Ego taken a bashing has it? Oh dear... : http://www.shrewsburytown.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10443~1390305,00.html

That's all for now, can't find any more. If anyone has any others, please add them here! I love to hear how our old boys are doing.

Shame to hear about Hinds. I never knew he was playing for Sheff Wed. He aint done too bad considering, but I think this will be his last season as Wednesday. Delighted to hear about Thornton, the tosser! That's Karma biting back. Will happen to Davies too!

Shame about Richard Hinds, at least he got to play for the club he supports. Shrews doing quite well, so there may be heckling opportunities if they go up. Or maybe he'll have moved on to Wrexham by then

Was looking at the line-up for the Shrews in their 7-0 win and they look like a team of Rovers old boys. As well as Sherrif and the peroxided prat, they have a Michael Jackson in defence(is he the ex Rover?) and Kevin McIntyre, with Neil Ashton on the bench.

Michael Jackson was a top quality defender - I am sure he'll do a good job for the Shrews, even at the age of 35!
