Where are they now?

Postby BobbyJ1956 » Sat May 08, 2010 12:29 pm

Is there any easy & quick way of finding out what City players of the past are doing now? A Notts Forest mate told me that the club site has a link to an A to Z of former players with information on what they did since leaving, where they are now, and those who are no longer on this earth. Interesting stuff - from the ex-player who now flies planes for an international airline to one who works the night-shift in a hotel and another who became manager of Cowdenbeath and was sacked after 10 days without them playing a game. Something like this would be a nice addition to City's official site. Wonder where you are these days, Dave Wagstaffe, Ken Mulhearn, Tommy Hutch, Mike Sheron, Imre Varadi? Some people just disappear - the Forest site had no mention of the player I looked for, Roy Dwight (the lad who scored then broke his leg in the Cup Final in 1959 for you younger guys.)

sadly
Roy Dwight died in London in 2002 at the age of 69.

Thanks for these above. Have since been told that Roy Dwight's nephew is Elton John. Still think it'd be a good thing for the mcfc website to have an A to Z of past players' post-City stories, famous and obscure alike. (As for what's missing, John, my teeth are terrific and all my own thanks to American dentistry and my specs have been thrown away thanks to Lasik vision surgery.)
