We love our former U's, well most of them anyway, so thought I'd start a thread where we can keep up with them.
Thought I'd kick things off with a happier moment for Matt Jay in Essex as he scored a long ranger against Chelmsford at the weekend. It wasn't a joyous return though as Torquay shipped two late goals to lose 3-2 after leading 2-0.
I can completely understand why not, given the right to work investments that would have been required, but I wish we’d taken a punt on Kone at the time. Heyho.

Can someone remind me what category Wyscum's academy is?
Three former U's got their hands on a trophy yesterday with Shamal George, Mikael Mandron and Jayden Richardson all being part of the St Mirren team that won the Scottish League Cup.
Cameron McGeehan scored a second-half brace as Northampton moved into the top half of League One with a comfortable win over AFC Wimbledon at Sixfields.
Pleased for him. Love this quote - "You know what, it's very exciting, everyone says to me 'are you playing Salah?', 'are you playing Marmoush?'. At the end of the day I'm going over there to win a game and they'll be on the same pitch as me."
Keeping with the Afcon theme Junior was originally credited with the Cameroon equaliser against the Ivory Coast but it's since been changed to an own goal.
Cameroon will face hosts Morocco in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) after goals from Junior Tchamadeu and Christian Kofane gave them a 2-1 win over a South Africa side led by their former coach Hugo Broos.
After a bright start from the South Africans, it was a stroke of luck which helped set up Stoke City right-back Tchamadeu for the opening goal in the 34th minute.
When a corner was half-cleared, Carlos Baleba's shot played pinball inside the penalty area, first striking Bafana Bafana midfielder Nkosinathi Sibisi and then also Indomitable Lions defender Samuel Kotto before dropping kindly for Tchamadeu to tuck home from close range, with the goal confirmed following a long video assistant referee (VAR) check for offside.
