He had autistic twins I think, moved clubs to be closer to home apparently.
God I hate this league.

From insta
After an injury led to his retirement at the age of 33, Jimmy knew he wanted to remain involved in the sport he loves. He went on to earn his #UEFA A coaching qualification, preparing himself to guide players and staff with the depth of knowledge he gained both on and off the pitch.

Now, he is focused on becoming a licensed agent, using his extensive experience to mentor and support young players as they embark on their own professional journeys. Game Changer #Football Agency recognized Jimmy’s commitment to the game and his player-centric mentality, and invited him to join the agency. We are eager for him to share his insights and passion to help nurture future football players and guide them through the challenges and opportunities of the game.

ChatGPT has Debolla retiring after leaving AFC Wimbledon around 2009 and becoming some sort of FPL specialist

Good player. He had a sniff of making it. Just didn't work out.

Martin Gritton? Remember seeing him score the winner at Brentford one Tuesday night.

Remember those days, when the likes of Brentford and Bournemouth were regular fixtures. It's going to be a long time until we play either of them in a league fixture again!

Martin Gritton was sat behind me at an England ODI. Might have been the WC semi-final at Edgbaston.

We had some real midfield maestros back in the day, Kevin Arnott and Marcus Ebdon come to mind.

I've heard it said that Gareth is now a skipper in the luxury yatch business, which beats getting clumped by Omar Daley in front of the Pop Side!
It's nice to be able to Trust again.

Gaz is a mate of mine and as far as I know, he isn’t in the Yatch world 😂 Him and his family are still local. He’s in the site training industry. Has been for numerous years now.

Last I heard, he'd sold his second training business. Saw his parents only recently.
