Picked up a copy of the Football League Paper today and there is a piece on the 1985/1986 team, with an interview from Robert Lee. There is a photo of the official team photo at the Valley during the start of that season, and a summary of what each player is up to now. Peter Shirtliff is mentioned, but apart from that error, it’s a good article.
Here is a summary of what some of the old players are up to now, according to the paper.
Tony Towner: Has his own removal company in the Brighton area.
George Shipley: Assistant community officer at St James’s Park, Newcastle
Mark Stuart: Now works for a building society
Simeon Hodson: Community support officer with Warwickshire police
Tony Lange: Revenue protection officer for Southern Railways based in Brighton
John Pearson: Mortgage advisor, and commentates on Sheffield Wednesday matches on the club website.
Mike Flanagan: Works for a company that builds and fits swimming pools,
Mark Aizlewood: A technical director at the Welsh FA.
Carl Harris: Runs his family’s removal business in Neath.
Mark Reid: A driving instructor based in Irvine.
