Former players...

A nice mention for Gav in this preview of this weekend's FA Cup games:

"McCoulsky’s rise at Newport moulded by mentor Rose
Shawn McCoulsky earned Newport County a plum draw at home to Tottenham Hotspur by scoring the winner against Leeds United but that goal was also another nod to the work of Gavin Rose, the Aspire Academy director and manager 150 miles east at seventh-tier Dulwich Hamlet. The 21-year-old McCoulsky was converted from a right-back to a striker as a teenager and hasn’t looked back since, joining Bristol City in November 2015 and scoring 11 goals on loan at Newport this season. McCoulsky is not the first to thrive after being nurtured by Rose and his staff, though, with Barnsley’s Ethan Pinnock and Walsall’s Erhun Oztumer among those impressing in the Football League. Simeon Jackson and George Elokobi, in years gone by, have also graduated through their system. Another match-winning goal for McCoulsky at Rodney Parade on Saturday evening would be the next step on a brilliant journey."
 
Love the fact they advertise him as former billericay player. That's where he made his name after all.
 
Does anyone remember Gary Noel? Striker who played for the Hamlet during 08-09. He ended up heading for Austria and is now thriving in the fourth tier in Germany.
Scored a few goals for us, mostly appeared as a substitute, then joined Harrow Borough who were a division higher at the time. He was only 18 or 19.
 
Rhys Murrell-williamson has joined Hampton, where most of last season's Hendon side have managed to find their way into the National League despite their play-off defeat to the Hamlet.
