THAT Vardy goal!

Post by drummergull90 »



Against us 10 years ago today!

Of all players to start their premier league winning goal scoring career against us!

Trying to remember our team back then, can anyone?

Oh how we’ve fallen. But we WILL be back. And are starting to come back.

5 Brian Saah
2 Joe Oastler
7 Lee Mansell
18 Craig Easton

Not one of Michael Poke's stand-out moments! I don't remember the game - maybe a League Cup match, or whatever it was called seven years ago? Anyone remember what the final score was?

4-0 Leicester I think, stand to be corrected.

An interesting where are they now list there. None of them want on to much better after leaving us. A few in coaching roles, some have disappeared, Tom Cruise is apparently an accountant now!

I seem to remember the club having quite high hopes for Kyrtis Mackenzie? Seems to have completely fallen out of the game.

Well he had to score his first goal against someone, full respect to the guy, he has gone from non league at fleetwood to Leicester, but remained loyal to Leicester turning down arsenal.

Seem to recall that Kyrtis MacKenzie was diagnosed as diabetic shortly after turning pro with us and I think left the game altogether, sadly. Likewise, as most on here will know, Damon Lathrope’s career ended early with a very bad leg injury whilst playing for Woking. By strange coincidence, Woking also appears to have been “the last stop” for two other members of that side too - with both Saah and Poke having ended their professional football careers there on their release.

Lee Mansell is, of course, involved with Bristol Rovers Academy as a Development Coach - having ended his career there, and Craig Easton is Assistant Manager up at Cowdenbeath, whilst Ashley Yeoman now plays (and is Fixture Secretary) for Salcombe Town in the South Devon League Premier Division.
