CarlfeedtheGriffiths.
From wiki: He started his career with Shrewsbury Town in 1988, and after being voted onto the PFA Team of the Year, moved on to Manchester City for £500,000 in October 1993. In August 1995 he transferred to Portsmouth for £200,000, moving on to Peterborough United for £225,000 in March 1996. He joined Leyton Orient for £65,000 in March 1997, where he stayed for four years, interrupted by short spells at Wrexham (on loan) and Port Vale. He played for Luton Town between July 2001 and 2003 following a £65,000 transfer, later dropping into non-league football with Harlow Town, Braintree Town, Brentwood Town, and Maldon Town. He also represented Wales at under-21 level and also for the "B" team. Within his three spells with Leyton Orient he achieved cult status and in 2004 received 9% of the vote for all-time cult hero behind Peter Kitchen and Terry Howard.[1]
Turning to management in 2008, he took charge of Brentwood Town for a year. In 2010 he was made manager of Aveley, before leaving this post the following year.
Paul Moulden:
Born in Farnworth, near Bolton, Lancashire, as a youth Moulden entered the Guinness Book of Records by scoring 340 goals in a single season for Bolton Lads Club under-15s.[1] He subsequently joined Manchester City, where he was a part of the team which won the 1986 FA Youth Cup.[2] He made his first team debut on 1 January 1986 against Aston Villa aged 18.[3] He made only two further first team appearances that season, both as substitute, but finished the season as top scorer for the reserve team.[4] His first extended run in the first team came in late 1986, and he scored his first goals for the club in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa on 8 November. A broken leg[3] restricted him to three starts in the 1987-88 season. The following season Moulden started the majority of matches, finishing the season as top scorer with 13 goals in 36 league appearances as Manchester City gained promotion to the First Division. However in the close season he was sold to Bournemouth as a makeweight in the deal which took Ian Bishop to Maine Road.
Moulden spent just seven months on the south coast, scoring 13 goals in 37 starts for the Cherries, before moving to Oldham on transfer deadline day. At Oldham he struggled with injuries, starting 19 matches in three years. He then had short spells with a succession clubs, playing for Brighton, Birmingham, Huddersfield and Rochdale before dropping out of League football in 1996.
After retiring from full-time football, he opened a fish and chip shop and played non-league football for Accrington Stanley[5] and Bacup Borough.[6] He went on to coach juniors at his old boys' club and at Manchester City's academy.
Is he still with us?
