Anybody remember Graham Knowler, Barry Etherington, Simon Franks, Rob Dolman, Kevin Howland, Ray Griffiths, Mark Summerfield, Duncan Tolhurst and Tony Reynolds. Whatever happened to them?

Tony Reynolds played football for Welling United during their spell in the Vauxhall Conference circa 1988 - 1992. Tony played as a left winger and he could best be described as an enigmatic player. His ability to switch from excellent to appauling from minute to minute rather unfairly made him the team scapegoat. Tony went on to manage the club earlier this decade for a couple of years but what became of him after then I don't know.

 

I do remember though at the time it was common for programmes to try and sum up players in a single sentance (ex-Leyton Orient apprentice, England Schoolboy Trialist etc) and Tony was always labelled as an ex Speedway Rider.

Duncan is currently recovering from a serious accident that occurred while racing in Germany. He is undergoing intense physiotherapy treatment everydayand is still awaiting another operation. The last I heard was he has been able to walk a few steps albeit supported but is still facing a long haul to recovery. There was a thread in the grasstrack section but there haven't been any updates for a while so I'm hoping his recovery is still making good progress.
