Came to the club in 1994/95 at Leyton and was one half of the extremely successful strike partnership, with Dave Flint who got us out of relegation trouble.

Came from Cheshunt and was pretty mobile for a big man (well over six feet tall), although not blessed with the pace of the slightly smaller and more agile Flint.

Helped us to the London Challenge Cup Final against Bromley in our first season as Leyton Pennant and scored one of our two goals.

After Flint’s injury robbed him of his regular strike partner the following season, he became much less effective and spent the remainder of his career playing in the Essex Senior League, mainly at Southend Manor.

He was top scorer in the ESL, earning a trial at Leyton Orient, but it came to nothing.
