Whatever Happened To... Simon Brown
After five years with the U's, Brown joined Hibernian on a free transfer in 2004. He spent three years at Hibs, but failed to hold down a regular place in the first team and was released at the end of the 2006-07 season, having made 65 appearances - his highlight being a Scottish League Cup winners medal in 2007, despite not appearing in the final.
He returned to England in the summer of 2007, signing for Brentford on a two-year deal. After one season he was transfer listed and spent the majority of the 2008-09 season on loan at Darlington, making 26 appearances for the Quakers. He returned to the Bees before the end of the season and made one appearance for the team which won League Two. Despite being offered a new contract at Griffin Park, he left Brentford having made 30 appearances.
In September 2009 he joined Northampton Town in a player-coach role, but left the Cobblers in the January transfer window to join Cambridge United and resume his playing career. Now aged 35, he is still on the books at Cambridge, but has yet to make an appearance this season.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Hibernian (Scotland), Brentford, Darlington (loan) Northampton Town, Cambridge United.

A quick look at some of the action from our previous encounters with QPR, were you at any of the games and what are you memories, post them in the comments section below.
Reports on the continent are saying that there is plenty of interest from club's in Germany & Austria in Tonda Eckert, so it is not surprising that they are also claiming that the club is keen to get him to sign a new deal.
When Saints were handed a 4 point deduction for this season in the aftermath of Spygate, many believed that this would spell the end of any hope of automatic promotion this season, however this might well turn out not to be the case.
Saints went out and made a statement by beating the Hammers, however although this was a battling performance, it was a great one, but it was all about the result, not the way in which it was achieved.
Away games are out of reach for Adam at the moment (but in the pipeline) and if we had been given a home match for Saturday 24th October 2026, he may not have attended the event he created.
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.
In Friday's press conference Tonda Eckert admitted that Cyle Larin & Flynn Downes are both doubts for the starting line up, but he also suggested that they could play some part in the game.
The Hammers start the weekend in 2nd position in the Championship and for many people are favourites for promotion, but Saints have a good record against teams in the top echelons of the division and can go there with confidence.
It seems that Saints have been making a few enquiries about a new striker, presumably to replace Divin Mubama who has not really impressed Saints fans so far in his loan spell at the club.
The crew assemble for another Thursday night of mayhem with a chance of some major chat about Southampton Football Club, amongst other things.
