JET.

What a player he was for us.

The 5-2 win at Brizzle was stuff of dreams. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_1/8544016.stm

"What a player he was for us"...when he turned up and turned a display in. Far too rare. Another wasted talent.

Very talented but too many half-baked performances stopped him becoming the cream of the crop

[Goldthorperover]

He was worth his weight in grams.

[Bentley Bullet]

Shouldn't this be in the ex-players thread?

We get a bollocking for posting when Alfie May scores.

[Usher wide.]

Part of his problem, aledgedly, was that he didn’t get on well with the players in the dressing room because his farts smelled like a skunk.

[glosterred]

Going down is my guess

[The Dav]

What a wasted talent ! The time he’s been in the game, he should have had enough sense to look after his brass and not to have to get involved in get rich quick schemes such as drugs !

[Chris Black come back]

Going down for a long stretch.

[RobTheRover]

He denies any involvement whatsoever.

no skin up in the game?

Jet uses jet. Oh the irony

What may seem to some to be a sad case in first light simply isn’t. I remember him here in SOD’s side. He was clearly a very gifted footballer.

If he’d applied himself half as much on the football pitch as he has clearly done as a persistent drug smuggler & distributor, the world would have been his oyster. Why he didn’t only he knows. He’ll certainly have plenty of time behind bars to contemplate.

Stupid, stupid man.

[Barmby Rover]

He is a fool, falling into the greed trap. Maybe with a bit of jail time he might consider his mistakes and look at what is important.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

4 years in prison.

Scored a great goal for us, I think in the first season at the new stadium too. It was the reaction just as much as the goal - there was an audible gasp from both the Derby ( think it was Derby?)  fans and us before the huge cheer?

Sheer power and placement. A huge talent, but looked to be lazy - and that could be just how he looked. I am unsure if he ever reached his true potential.

So, how many jailbirds have played for us over the years?

[Chris Black come back]

Jamie Lawrence and Mike Norbury

So, how many jailbirds have played for us over the years?

Old pineapple head Jamie Lawrence for one,Burglary if I remember right
Mickey Norbury Attacking his then girlfriend? Possibly manslaughter
Colin Sutherland was arrested and remanded when Accused of Attempted murder,but I don't the outcome of his case
Niall Mason suspended sentence,bet he felt a right tit!

It was Derby, mate. We won 2-1. "Wurzel Gummidge" Robbie Savage played for them that day.

Was Jimmy Kelly an ex con?

Is that the one when Savage scored a free-kick? It was the only way he was going to score,we was so good at that time.

We've even had a benefactor who turned into a jailbird

Would be hilarious. Just about the worst walking advert for Pass Logistics possible

Redo the kit launch but the police have pulled JET’s suspicious smelling lorry over on the M18 and he doesn’t make it

A good case study on how broken the criminal justice system is.

[Draytonian III]

Has signed for AFC Toton

[Chris Black come back]

AFC Totton. Just promoted to National League South. James Beattie is the Director of Football and Charlie Austin plays for them.

Some protests going on darn surf about this.

Hasn't the world changed.... It used to be your time in prison expiated the crime you had committed and you were welcomed back into society to lead a relatively normal life. If you didn't, back into quod you'd go. Now, I don't  mean to understate the level of the crime JET committed, but importing cannabis isn't in the same league as importing heroin, exporting guns or murdering Gazans yet apparently JET should be condemned to purdah for the rest of his life. That's about the only way to guarantee he'll become a lifelong criminal. What other option would he have?
