Nerds and Tab Clear, what happened to them? Tab was disgusting as is Liptonice so it's really no wonder they vanished. Also hot drinks in a can sank without a trace. Nevermind with chocolate, they usually just change their names but haven't disappeared. Snicker or Marathon? I remember when people were complaining about the name change as well as Starburst/opal fruit.

When i was in paris i got addicted to lipton ice, peach flavour. 6 cans a day.

What happened to Glenn Helder, shit Arsenal winger? Or star striker in our shite 1994/95 campaign Chris Kiwomya?

And what of Manny Owoyimni or whoever from West Ham's great (!) sides of the late 1990s?

Why did rappers stop saying "BLACKAU!" as a gunshot noise?

Where did all the socialists go?

What happened to Sensible Software, creators of Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder? I miss my days of playing SWOS on the Amiga.

What happened to Lemmings and why were a nation of children in charge of haulting their suicide missions?

Argh Sensible soccer, I can't stand football but especially the management games.

I think they can now get a gunshot noise so don't need to imitate it. Weird question, in need of medicating?

ARSENAL LEGEND!

I think he went into management in Denmark, boringly.

He sort of disappointed us when he scored again QPR, i think it was his only ever goal, and afterwards we couldn't take the piss any more.

John Beresford had his own website. It was shit.

Ruel Fox was last seen helping out Robert Fleck (the man who inadvertently scored the goal that won Leeds the title in 91, legend) at whatever Norfolk-based non-league club he's at now.

And Manny Omoyimni (mentioned above somewhere) is now at Gravesend and Northfleet. Who are managed by one Liam Daish, lost football player fans.

"And Manny Omoyimni (mentioned above somewhere) is now at Gravesend and Northfleet. Who are managed by one Liam Daish, lost football player fans."

Gravesend also have the Northern Irish one goal wonder Roy Essandoh that scored the winning goal for Wycombe in the FA cup to put them through to the Quarter Finals a few years ago. It's pretty amazing that Wycombe posted on teletext that they needed a striker for a few games and Roy's agent got in touch and Roy was on a week to week contract. He didn't last long though.

I love those players like Rafael Schidt where managers spend millions on the basis of one 45 min video.

Like Milton Nunez of Sunderland.

I heard that Schidt's video was a composition of greatest bits, apperently in the games where he was shown his team actually lost badly.
Still convinced John Barnes, appernetly including transfer fee and wages he cost Celtic 9 million in total.

Anyone remember Lars Elstrup? Another Dane, saw him score twice when Luton beat Saints around 92-93ish. I only mention it because he ended up starting his own cult back in Denmark, which seemed to involve him being naked a lot. That's what I want from footballers, that slightly unhinged side to their personality.....

you'll have to be more specific than that...

john beresford does sky tv now.

Eddie McGoldrick! He was one of my favourite players when i was a nipper, i found his name funny.

What happened to Steve Morrow, the guy who Tony Adams dropped after his cup final heroics? I think he went to QPR (it's either them or West Ham for Arsenal rejects) and after that...

So then:
Devon White
Anders Limpar - LEGEND!
Gus Caesar
Gary Penrice (lovely tache)
Nicky Hazard (boooo!)
Massimo Taibi (i swear he was good at Piacenza before he signed for Man Utd!)

FUCHS was a legend...

he went to Millwall, but didn't settle in, i remember an interview with him at Millwall

he said he wanted to go home, but he meant to middlesbrough and not germany which was awesome.

Robbos biggest mistake was not signing him

he came to the riverside a few years ago for Robbie Mustoes testimonial and the ovation he got was amazing,took him ages to score though.

Re: the whatever happened to thread (pt2)

I think I can clear some of these up off the top of my head cos i'm sad like that:

Lilian Laslandes went back to France to play for the amusingly named Brest I think (short for Stade Brestois but thats not as childishly amusing)
Marco Boogers went AWOL from West Ham and was found 2 weeks later living in a caravan in Holland, he then later went back to play for groningen i think.
Thomas Brolin went back to Sweden to play in goal for some third division side or something.
Chris Kiwomya ended up also in Sweden playing for AB or something.
Mikkel Beck went to play in germany for FC Hansa rostock i think, who knows where he is now.
Enrique DeLucas went to play for alaves in spain just after they got relegated to the second division, there was some brouhaha that they'd actually signed him before chelsea came in anyway so it was a logical progression i suppose, a bit similar to that Robert Jarni - coventry debacle a few years ago.
Last I saw of Hugo Porfirio he was at benfi
