Former blades where are they now??

[davidpinder]

Just wondered if anyone knew what these former blades are up to, most of them were in the 1989/90 season and a few sometime after.

Mark Todd
Ian Bryson
John Francis
Peter Duffield
Paul Stancliffe
Tom Cowans
Mark Patterson

No particular reason just wondered if anyone knew if they had stayed in the game or doing something completely different.

Tommy Cowan arrived a couple of years after that season. But of that era, Jamie Hoyland was youth team coach at PNE last season.

That explains their season then LOL

Duffield was a very successful manager at Retford up to the year before last. He was in the final 3 for the Worksop Town job ,so I presume he is looking for a mangement position still.

Mark Todd works for the club on the community side. He lives in Oughtibridge, is still a massive Blade & played in the Masters tournament a coupleof weeks back. Great bloke.

I heard Tom Cowans giving football reports on the radio or TV last season. I can't remember if it was 5 Live, or Sky Sports.
