The Loco have had numerous players in the
past, and we believe they deserve their
own rejects section. This area will be added
to a hell of a lot...
Rob Frank
Bit-part Loco player that had little dedication
to the club. Never one to play either injured,
ill, or hungover, Frank was a disgrace -
and his colleagues were so annoyed by him,
that he eventually decided to up sticks
to Australia. On a serious note though (no,
seriously), this man made Locomotive what
it is - without him it wouldn't have happened,
and without him, many of the players mentioned
on match reports, on funny news stories,
and even on the rejects pages - would not
be playing for Loco.
The Mountfields
Darren and Scott - both Loco legends. Scott
for his accounting skills and Darren for
his boxer shorts. Both hard workers, and
always had a joke around. Most jokes however
were about Darren - as he looked like Power
Ranger on his scooter, he didn't have enough
money for a meal at Gunwharf, and he was
always late - even for games at Slades Fam.
Jon Sharkey
Dedicated Loco player who thought he'd get
more enjoyment out of running 26 miles every
week than playing for Loco. Now is completely
knackered every week, but still gets more
column inches in the Echo compared to us,
Pete Slayford.
Andrea.
Terry Ingram
Whatever happened to him? Played for us,
and then he... went. Never heard from him
since. Alwayds remembered for coming out
of goal a long way.
Edward Bradshaw
How can you be nasty about Squeaky
Clean Ed. He was voted Players' Player of
the 2004/05 season, and rightly so, after
slotting in to the team amazingly well,
and scoring some superb goals. However,
as with all Loco Rejects, he does get a
slating - what the hell was that granny
box car all about? Similarly, Ed's emails
to Dave, Jon and Andy on a Monday morning
at 9.34am were very entertaining: "Lads
I'm not sure I played well enough yesterday,
so I'm thinking that next week I'll be on
the bench".
Derek Burridge:
A living Loco Legend. To
this day he doesn't have a clue about the
prestige and honour he gave the Locomotive.
He will go down in history as being "The
Legend". Dave and Salva's kick-off
chats will never be the same again!
Matt Davies:
Was on the Daily Echo web-site (in colour)
after we won the league title in the 2003/04
season, ironic considering that match (when
the photographer was there) was the only
game that the Welsh wizard had played! Players
often asked how his wife was.
Pat Harvey:
Full back, who played one game in our first
season to cover our threadbare and AWOL
squad.
Nicholas
Larri-who?:
Loco have enough Bournemouth fans to know
that French players don't work unless your
name is Arsene Wenger. Started up front
and reluctantly moved to the defence, Nick
succumbed to the same fate as Roger Boli.
Martyn
Langford:
Nicknamed 'Wesh Tit' - it didn't take the
Taffy long to settle in as a true Locoboy.
Nights out on the piss, ridiculing Salva
on his first appearance at the club, and
generally being accepted as a typical egg-chasing
sheep-sh*gger. Now back in his heartland,
Martyn is going out with the world-famous
'Dolly'. Recently posted a message on our
forum, which reminded me to update this
bit.
Paul Moore:
Former manager, who had a heavy influence
in transforming the humble five-a-side outfit
to an eleven-a-side team in the Bournemouth
Hayward League. Left the club early in 2003/2004
to join a 'bigger' club in a 'better' division.
Richard Nash:
An absolute terrier who put fear in the
shins of the oppositions. Always a good
laugh and part of the squad, Nashy was a
player that made trips to Gunwharf Quays
worthwhile. Check out the Media Gallery,
there's a picture of him humping the minibus.
Chris Parker:
Striker-cum-goalkeeper-cum-referee. Once
appealed for a throw-in decision, remembered
he was ref and then gave it!
Gary Piper:
Retired at the top after scoring against
Mudeford Mens Club reserves in a 4-2 win.
Luke Simcoe:
Last seen at a curry house in Old Christchurch
Road being reminded how much the lads miss
him. Never reached the legendary status
of Derek.
Mark Walsh:
Was that his name, I don't remember? Gary
Barlow look-a-like who played up front and
scored one deflected goal to show for it.
Spent his evenings devising tactics from
throw-ins. Loco's most expensive signing,
purchased from T-Mobile at a cost of £437.54
paid in 10.30am answer phone messages.
Michael
Ypes:
See Pat Harvey.
