MAGnets links - Nuneaton Borough

[Fan of Big Tone]

@Chris has asked me to resurrect this feature again, so I will do this for every game Notts play.

On Tuesday 4th July, Notts start their pre season friendlies with a trip to play Nuneaton Borough.

It may be quite tough to find a link but the idea is to try and think of as many players/managers/ coaches etc. that have played for both clubs (tea ladies don’t count) 

I’ll start you off with Duane Darby played for Notts 1998-2000 and Nuneaton Borough 2006-2007.

Ok over to you who else has a MAGnet link to both clubs?

Lee Hughes. Although, even though he was signed to them, I don't think he made a single appearance for Nuneaton.

i liked him and thought he would do well if given the chance. hes one of those players that had something but has never made the most of it.

Billy Daniels and Damien McCrory.

The original Gary Jones (before my years) played for Nuneaton Borough in 02/03.

Off the top of my head, I can add Alex Rodman, Greg Tempest, Cieron Keane, Tyrell Waite, Elliott Whitehouse, and good old Jim Rodwell. Do I get any bonus points for Devon Kelly-Evans, the brother of Dion?

Blimey there’s more than I thought, well done everyone, keep them coming.

The enigma that is Kairo Mitchell also played for them.

Here’s a blast from the past: Mark Quayle. He played for Notts from 1998-2000. I’m not sure how many will remember him, though.

One for, @Piethagoram. Luther James-Wildin.

Before he made it at Stevenage, Wildin played for Nuneaton Borough, and he credited them for giving him the platform to progress.

Dean Thomas, youth career began at Nuneaton

and I raise the stakes with @Chris to give you Guy Branston, Operations manager at Nuneaton for just 5 months

[Sirrels County]

Another name to add to this list, would be Duane Darby. Does anyone remember him?

[B&Wstripes]

I believe Leroy Lita played for both Notts and Nuneaton.

Frank Upton began his career with Nuneaton, he joined us from Derby County in 1966. @super_ram

I remember me and my uncle Stan being upset when he left to join Chelsea but  he returned after 2 or 3 seasons before joining Notts. He was one of several exRam players who were one of the attractions at Alfreton carnival in the late 70's.
