Just wondering,our second highest scorrer so for this season is Simon Carden with 9 goals from midfield.Is this the same lad who used to play for Stanley?If so when did he leave?He joined us in early September,can any one help? Thanx

I believe it is mate. As I recall he left Stanley at the end of the 2002/3 season having failed to maintain a regular starting place. In my view though he was a class act and would have been first choice at any other club - Stanley of course won the league by some margin that year. I also notice that former red Darren Lyons is your player coach.

Yes he is,didnt realise he was ex-Stanley you never know maybe more mate this is the squad,:- Barry George,Phil Melville,Mark Rawlinson,Gareth Ormes,Steven Spencer,Dave Chadwick(Capt),Robert Nugent,Kevin Elvin,Tony Coyne,Josh Howard,Joz Mitten,Steve Torpey,Rory Patterson,Adie Orr,William Ahern,Scott Holt,Billy McCartney,Darren Lyons,Phil Power,Simon Carden,Paul Mitten,Tony Cullen & David Brown.They seem to play well together,not bad for only 6 months of being formed.

There are several David Browns in the football pyramid, but only one Simon Carden (cue for a song ?).
Simon Carden and Russ Payne were two very fine attacking forwards who found (or, rather, were advised) that their particular talents were not suited to the Stanley of the new millennium. Ynorically , I see a great similarity between their styles and that of our current star, Gary Roberts. Rather than fall over and exude a histrionic form of agony (a la Rory), they'd try to skip the initial tackle and put themselves into a much better position to score a goal.
I'd be very sad if our own David Brown was to depart so soon. He is one of the most astonishing forwards I've ever seen. He possesses a unique "out of body" capability whereby he apparently visualises himself above the game, hovers while it takes shape, then swoops to perform the coup de grace . A thoroughly focussed young man, is Mr. Brown.

I also think Browny is a class act and is only being kept out of the starting XI by another class act

il always remember Simon's super sub appearance against Burscough in the cup - after a 15 minute hat-trick the loon sprinted over and practically assaulted Jimmy Bell!!
happy happy times
