Only days after he played for us.

So in the space of one year he's gone from a L1 club to one in the Scottish Championship and now to a Nat. League South side.

I'm being honest here - I think he could've found himself a L2 club if he wanted to.

On the contrary - It was away at Bishops Stortford who are allowed fans - 572 people including myself had the honour of watching him play 80mins.

Did he have a good game? And do you know if the club offered him a contract? Could be that Ebbsfleet's offer was a better one than yours, though if I were a pro I'd rather play for the bigger club.

ITV 1 now. Forget about Messi and Mbappe yesterday, today is Bingham day.

He turned down a place in the World Cup representing himself as he loves the romance of the FA Cup.

To my eternal shame, I’d somewhat lost track of the great man in recent years, before I saw an alert on this forum pinging me as to the rightful revival of this thread.

I thought I’d check out Soccerbase to see his progress in recent times.


According to the site (and you know it’s true if you read it on the internet), Sir Bingham has amassed a frankly stonking 28 goals in 4 apps for Ebbsfleet.

Whilst I feel these stats may need double-checking, part of me despises my own heresy in doubting the superhuman Bingham eye for goal. Tricky one.

BT Sport 3 now.

There’s only one man who has the pull to attract live TV cameras to a National League South game.

He could be playing international football this weekend, but it’s all about the challenge of putting himself out of his comfort zone for him.

The thread starter at least got it bang on in being excited about him signing as I’ve just checked his stats and he scored a whopping 4 goals in 31 games for Hartlepool before being flogged to Hamilton Academicals for what I can only guess would have been a 7 figure fee.

No, it absolutely is not. I've not been a League 2 fan for a few years so I'm still getting back into the groove but from memory, it's about being a sad joyless individual who resents the very existence of their club, and instead of enjoyment, uses the weekly matchday as a vehicle for hatred and anger. You laugh at, cry about and abuse your c***-y players who prance around on Social Media pretending they're #ballers but really are all a year or two away for getting found out as the charlatans they are before becoming part-timers. Eventually you either wilt away and drop down to non-league which is a fate worse than spending an eternity with Hades, you get promoted into League 1 before realising that's the very best it'll ever get and thus depressing yourself more...or worst of all you just spend time in footballing purgatory - years and years in this cesspool of tinpot basement clubs and fans desperately trying to pretend their club matters one iota in the grand scheme of the sport and that other people have ever spent more than 1 second of their lives thinking about Luton or something.

TL;dr version - League 2 is shite, you will never be happy.
I’ve just re-read this and decided it’s one of the best posts I’ve ever read on here. Sums up lower league football perfectly.
