Phil Ifil appears to be out of the game now, still only 23, I remember the hyping he got after he made his debut against Liverpool
I still remember he played quite well for us. What a pity he ends his career so soon.

Kenneth McEvoy (mini Bale) now plays for South Normanton Athletic of the East Midlands Counties league (10th level on the football pyramid).
I thought he went to York City? I suppose as a footballer you have to believe in your own ability so if you are not getting the games it must be someone else's fault. I'm sure Rohan Ricketts has said that he was overlooked because as a skilful player he didn't get the opportunity to play in the rough and tumble of English football.
Wasn't that when he was let go from Arsenal ? I seem to remember reports he stole a mobile phone from the dressing room ?Wasn't Rohan Rickets a tea leaf? Sure I heard he got bombed out for that, as he looked to have established himself a a good young squad player at the least and then just seem to vanish
Looking through the old posts I noticed that someone had mentioned Yuri Berchiche.
He had a short and ill-fated loan spell at my local side Cheltenham Town. This was notable for his total lack of interest and an incident at S****horpe that is semi legendary among Cheltenham fans.
At the time Scunny had Henri Lansbury on loan from the gooners. In the last minute, 3-0 down and with all subs used, Yuri launched into a frankly heinous challenge on Lansbury. Most people in the ground were convinced he'd broken his leg, it was that bad.
Lower league ref's being what they are he only got a yellow card but the Cheltenham manager Martin Allen (total nobbinger that bloke) took him off anyway in disgust.
I believe Berchiche is now playing for Real Sociedad but always figures at lb in any worst ever Cheltenham Town XI.
Yup more about the lifestyle, then the actual footballHis missus ruined him....take a look at his instagram and you'll see what shes about
Where's Neale Fenn?
