True, Frank Banks was pretty old when he first played for us.

Tried looking at the sufc database for Frankie Banks, and can't find him. It's also not loading in any other way than the order in which they signed for us which isn't that helpful!

No, he was young when he joined us, for the first time.

He played his last game at the end of 77/78 at the age of just 32. He scored his last goal for us a little earlier in 1966 !

Err...I'd tried getting the list to go alpha and it wouldn't, tried the search too, but used full name - both versions and both ways round, have now located him just from surname...says last game was in '79 so he was 34ish when last played?

 

[Csboy]

According to the database his 1st appearance for SUFC was 1962 and his last was 1979 would likely to have been in his late 30's when he last played for us.

Frankie Banks last game was end of season 1977/78, born in August 1945 - so he was 32.

Don't sound so surprised !

 

[Thundersley Blue]

What about Eddie Clayton. He was certainly in his twilight years when signed from Spurs.

32 when he played his last game in 1970.

 

[Napster]

McAlinden was 36 when he played his last game in 1954. Winger.

 

[Napster]

Older is the criteria!

Just had a look, can't tell if he was 33 or 34 when he played his last game (dob. 29.6.1952), but 33 is older than Paul Clark. So it's bye, bye Clarky.

Silky Silkman's last appearances was 5.5.86. So 33.

 

[Napster]

Shame, Threadgold just turned 38 when he retired, and Ted Hankey was a respectable 36 when he played his last game.

What about George Parris. Must have been old when he played for us? Also Simon Coleman?

Looked up Coleman and John Cornwall, both around 32 when they left.

Jesus Simon Coleman has had a hard life. I'm 32 and look younger than him by about 20 years!!

George Parris?

34 or 35 depending on exactly when he played his only league game.
