Whatever Happened To.....

[kompressaur]

Roy Weagrle? I know that aint the spelling. Played with Luton and QPR i think. reminded me in looks to Van Nisteroy. Wasnt he American?

Also who was that Tommy Something that played with Celtic for a while? red head came from Vill always injured. Whatever happened to him? He ever do anything afterwards?

[Winrew]

Pretty sure Tommy went to Kilmarnock after he left Celtic.

[Swooperman]

Tommy Johnsons playing for somebody in League 1 now

[Kop66]

Derby?

Dunno about Weagrle

[Swooperman]

Wegerle is his name...& I dunno where he went.
Tommy Johnson was at Derby straight after Villa in about 98, but hes definetly in League 1, possibly Gillingham ??

That's out of date, but I have vague memories of him maybe taking up golf? Maybe thinking of someone else though

Just searched around a bit more, and maybe I'm right about the golf

Also:

In 1996, Wegerle joined Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Colorado Rapids. He had very little success in MLS, playing for only three seasons and scoring a total of 10 league goals. The years were split between Colorado (he was also a caretaker head coach for one game after Bobby Houghton was fired), D.C. United, and the Tampa Bay Mutiny, when he was part of what is considered the most lop-sided trade in league history, when DC sent him to Tampa for Roy Lassiter. Lassiter was MLS's all-time leading goalscorer; Wegerle played half a season for the Mutiny before retiring.

After his retirement, Wegerle has been trying to make it as a professional golfer. He has also been outspoken in his criticism of MLS, citing its lack of quality, which some claim is surprising as he did not play well in the league.

Julian Dicks became a golfer too I believe.

Yup he comes in for a hell of a lot of stick via the MLS message boards and it is very harsh of him and is probably just because he failed in the league.

Eric Wynalda was an American i always liked from the USA 94 side i think it was - he is now an MLS commentator.

Strange that bio on Tommy Johnson I could have absolutely swore I saw him on the bench at a Newcastle game. I remember thinking that Arthur Cox must have taken him there.

Wonder if that bio includes loan spells.

The only other explanation is that Im wrong and that would be ridiculous.

Cox ceased to manager of Newcastle in 1984 when Tommy Johnson was 13 :booty Guess that means you're wrong

[ONEDUNME]

Well well well Zonks, I hate to make you look a twat but he's been back there since as part of the "backroom" staff.

So there

[zonker84]

Well I know who is looking like a twat, and it's certainly not me You're just trying to cover yourself now, and it's not working

Cox would not have taken the decision to take him there if he was anything other than the manager. Keegan would've taken the decision, and he didn't. At the end of the day, you're still wrong, even if Cox was exerting Vladimir Romanov type influence on the club when he was a coach, because Johnson has never played for them

[ONEDUNME]

OK. So he never played for them and I was wrong but I don't agree that you don't look a twat.

You can delude yourself all you like mate but you're clearly saying that the Assistant Manager would never have a say at suggesting which players the club looks and and buys


Which is total bollox. Obviously
