With the U23s well placed in their league to qualify for the National Play Offs, I thought I'd look in the archives as to who played in the National Final the last time we got to one (we lost of course & finished runners up to Huddersfield Town)

Time for a fabled (to me, anyway...) Balham Blade Where Are They Now

1 Aaron Ramsdale - back at United having spent 4 years at Bournemouth (1 at Chesterfield, 1 at Wimbledon and one picking the ball out of Bournemouth's net). We spent £13.5m or thereabouts buying him back last summer

2 Jo Cummings - left United to join Charlton. Made one League Cup and one Paint Pot appearance for them and is now at Radcliffe Borough in the NPL Premier (tier 7).
3 Graham Kelly - joined Port Vale after being released by United, now at Larne in the Northern Irish Premier League
4 Ben Whiteman - at Preston now. Didn't make it at United, we sold him to Doncaster where he made 108 appearances before joining the Lilywhites for £1.6m
5 Terry Kennedy - knees gave out before their time. Last played for Guiseley in October 2018
6 Callum Semple - highly rated centre half who wasn't the same after a knee injury suffered after a horror tackle in an U23s game at Leeds. Left United for Ross County, got involved in a betting scandal and, as far as I can tell, has now stopped playing.
7 Harvey Gilmour - left United for Tranmere after impressing there on loan but it didn't work out for him. Now at Stockport in the National League
8 Louis Reed - squad player for Peterborough in League One
9 Che Adams - scoring goals for Southampton whenever they play against United. He forced through a move from United to Birmingham then moved from there to the south coast
10 Diego Di Girolamo - knee knack #3 in this WATN. Highly rated, knee injury, progress stalled, now at Buxton
11 David Brooks - broke into United's first team in 2017, destroyed Jack Hunt's career in a single move, left United for Bournemouth in a move which bankrolled the promotion season. Back in the Championship after the Cherries' relegation despite reported interest from Man U and Spurs

12 CJ Hamilton - at Blackpool in League One after four years with Mansfield. Scored a respectable 5 goals in his 22 league appearances this season.
13 Jake Eastwood - still officially at United although he's probably 5th choice goalkeeper having made a single substitute appearance for us. On loan at Grimsby.
14 Jordan Hallam - at Scunthorpe in League 2 where he's mainly a sub
15 Kimarni Smith - stateside now: played for Clemson Uni and was then selected by DC United as the 4th overall pick in the 2021 MLS draft. GLTTL.
16 Connor Hall - now at Chorley in the National League North

Ben Whiteman scored the other night for PNE. Happy to help.

Edit - Far too slow...

 

[United Aren't Back.]

He doesn’t seem to have much faith in them if he is responsible. It beggars belief that none of these players has been given a chance in our first team. First Wilder, now Hecky. It’s not as if the senior players have been doing especially well is it.

Playing as bad as Adkins team on a bad day and they all get chance after chance while lads who want to work get ignored. Fucking stinks.

Ben Whiteman scored the other night for PNE. Happy to help.

With the benefit of hindsight, maybe he's one we should have hung on to.

Forest U23 lost tonight which I think means the young Blades have won their League with 3 games to play. I know it's playoffs next and good luck for that but thought it was worth a congratulations especially in the background of the disastrous first team season. Bonus at the bottom of the league too

Birmingham and Wigan can still both win it if they win all their games and we lose all ours i think
