Former players...

Mick Browne now seems to be Michael Browne and is Technical Director for Singapore F.A.

A long way from the day he had to slap green paint over rugby league pitch markings at Hendon FC, ahead of a Tuesday match. A few.Hamlet players got new boots out of Hendon after that match, citing paint damage to boots used as the paint hadn't dried. Mick didn't look too impressed when the Rabble rocked up and helpfully started informing him he'd "missed a bit' and pointing in all sorts of directions.
 
Luton have just lost their manager. He'd probably have been recalled by any new manager, to have a look at all his squad, anyway tbh.

The loans were due to expire in any case ("early January", according to the club's announcement when they were last extended) and I believe there's a limit to the number of times you can extend a loan for the same player. Both had already been here for 3 months, and Lynch has already been loaned out again to Hemel Hempstead.

I can't help thinking Lynch might do better playing at the back. He's pretty strong for a young lad and doesn't lose many aerial duels, as well as being quick and skilful enough on the floor, but he just never looked like scoring goals.

Horlick is clearly too good for the Isthmian League and ought to have a decent career somewhere from National League upwards.

My mother, who was a secretary at Walworth School, worked with him when he was there as a PE teacher in the 1990s. She once told me an anecdote that he tried to impress the ladies in the school office with his footballing skills by juggling an orange, but lost control and sent it onto someone's desk like something Barnes Wallis would have been proud of, splattering her with tea/coffee. The colleague in question happened to be a regular Hamlet supporter, along with her husband, and from my brief acquaintance with her I'll bet he didn't dare show his face in that office again for a good few weeks! (This was before he became our joint manager with John Ryan.)

Lynch has scored eight minutes into his debut.
 
Something to pass a frozen evening! Was playing at the Lions Community Centre today and happened to spot this on the wall. A number of former Dulwich players either Academy or First team. Wonder how many you could recognise?IMG_3875.jpeg
 
Matt Drage and Rob Tolfrey are playing for Merstham at Broadbridge Heath tonight. I reckon Rob must be the only player I saw play for Hamlet whilst living in London still playing.

Edited to say Korrey Henry is also playing for them.

Edited again. Rob Tolfrey went off after 65 minutes after being clattered at a couple of corners.

Edited again. Matt Drage to an Assistant Referee "you can get things wrong. That's why we're at step four. We are all cack."

Emmanuel Robe starting for Hendon tonight.
He and Stefan Ilic both played 90 minutes in a 4-0 defeat at home to Horsham, for whom Chris Dickson (now aged 40) scored twice. Hendon are now in a real tailspin since their manager left for Hemel Hempstead last month, taking a couple of the best players with him, and are just 2 points ahead of the relegation places.
