Does anyone know what happened to David and co.  He played for the AWs once or twice and was playing league one football but came back for the Knights with Plodder I think.
 
As to the rest of the boys what happened to them... Quite a few of them turned pro at the time.  I know players such as Pierce are playing NZFC etc but some have completely disappeared.

All these guys are my age group (wasn't as good as them tho)

I think Gary Bridle lives in Wgtn now, was sure I walked past him a few months back. He was a good keeper for Hawkes Bay Reps back in the day. And im pretty sure Julius is still in the Air Force.

Cheers mate, played with Budgen.  How good is Knowles now?  Also its a pity to see that Jones is coaching as I thought he had a lot of promise.

Daniel Trent - Living in England not playing football
Rickey Hill - Three Kings.
 
Also speaking of Neil Jones was he involved in getting under 20 player Sam Jenkins a spot at the school.  Hope not it wouldn't have done his reputation any good as jenkins turned up in the states and flew home only a couple of days later leaving the school a player short with little or no explantation.
