Where are they now?
Re: Where are they now?
No idea now but when Bobby Moore was manager at City (79-80 ish - can't remember now!) we played in the Anglo Italian tournament against teams from Serie C and City were in the Isthmian Premier at the time. We travelled with Poole Town who were then Southern League Premier: I'm guessing they'd both be lower Conference Regional or upper part of the feeder league below that now. I think City drew the two home games and then we lost the first away game 0-6 but won the second one.
Ancient Colin may have a better idea of the relative current standards.

Re: Where are they now?
Not really no great knowledge. I think it is pretty weak, certainly below Lega Pro Prima. Lega Pro Seconda is regionalised, around 40 teams, I guess they are probably semi-pro. There are a number of former top division sides down there but mostly they've gone bankrupt or folded and are playing in decaying stadiums. I went to see Como (in Serie A as recently as 2001, but collapsed and bust in mid-2000s but now in Lega Pro Prima, getting crowds of around 2000 I think) a few years ago after their reformation and it was absolutely terrible, it felt sub-conference. But who knows what an outsider would make of the fare we watch?!
Of other ex-Ox players, recall Craig Davies going to Hellas Verona? They're currently 5th in Serie A, which is a bit bizarre.

Seems he is on a pro deal of some sort, according to his Wikipedia page at least:Ancient Colin wrote:Not really no great knowledge. I think it is pretty weak, certainly below Lega Pro Prima.

"After only one month and a half with KSK Heist, both Alex Fisher and Fergus Bell got the opportunity to sign professional deals with Italian Lega Pro side A.C. Monza Brianza 1912. Heist came to an agreement with AC Monza, and allowed both players to move on to Italy to continue their careers at a professional level."
Lega Pro Prima is what was Serie C1, Lega Pro Seconda is what was Serie C2.
His willingness to go anywhere, adn try things like the Glenn Hoddle Academy, to continue his career has always impressed me, to the point that he is the one I would be most interested to see back in England/OUFC to see what could do. Whether he'd come back is another matter...

Re: Where are they now?
The 'Beast' has had enough of his long term injury problems and at 32 looks set to retire from football. A classic old fashioned centre half who was not afraid to take (or give) a knock. I really hope he doesn't 'fall out of love with football' like he states in this article as he'd make a great motivator and defensive coach. Very sad to read the piece below.

Re: Where are they now?
That's a real shame and sad to read. Probably deserves a thread of it's own.
Whole-hearted and totally committed when playing but seems to have given up now - doesn't sound like him at all! Good luck to him - one of my favourite players from the CONference era and a nice bloke too by all accounts.
