Ex-players you're surprised don't have much to do with the club 14:20 - Aug 22 with 10149 views | Hipsterectomy | This isn't meant as a dig at them and I'm unsure of their current geographical location or employment situation I saw the Wembley highlights and was reminded of Naylor scoring and then setting up the 4th goal. He ended up approaching 400 games for us in all competitions and had a testominial yet since retiring I don't think has had much, or anything, to do with us (maybe co-comms on Suffolk?). Fabian Wilnis as well - over 300 games, 10 years at ITFC, brought him to England etc. Get them to a game, Matt Holland, so we can celebrate these guys! |  |

Ex-players you're surprised don't have much to do with the club on 17:41 - Aug 23 by Stewart27 | I’m not sure where to start with this one. Most people just ignore you. I should too. I thought you just hated us since post takeover. Didn’t realise your hate spanned back 25 odd years. Very strange that you’ve singled out 2 great ambassadors of our club though. It’s definitely original trolling. |
I can see how he could make a case for George Burley in terms of overspending/messing up squad harmony (not saying I agree, but I presume that's what Elephant is getting at). I'd love to know what Matt Holland did wrong though. |  |

I'm guessing it was turning down a big money transfer that may have helped us avoid admin. |  |

Ex-players you're surprised don't have much to do with the club on 22:33 - Aug 22 by DinnernotTea | James Scrowcroft is another. Brilliant player, local but I can't ever remember him on anything ITFC related or at the ground. David Linighan is another. Captained us in our last meaningful trophy season (I'm not having a trophy for the play offs). |
He was working at the academy a few years ago. Is at games fairly regularly. |  | |  |

David Linighan was at the Hall of Fame Dinner at PR back in 2022 I think. |  | |  |

I was thinking that too, obviously, but it would be absolutely ridiculous to suggest a club's woes are down to a player not fancying a move (for whatever reason). No player is obliged to make any move when they're under contract, regardless of how good it might be for the parent club. |  |

He was, gave a very monosyllabic speech to the amusement of some of his teammates. |  | |  |
