Dean Ashton

[RobbieOR]

He has just retired due to that ankle injury. Its a Shame, I quite liked him and hoped we would have signed him a few years back.

[The-Sir]

Shiiit. Gotta feel sorry for the lad. Looked like having a good future in the game at one point.

[redmachine23]

With you on that Robbie. Good pro, worked his way up from Crewe. Always fancied him here before the injury problems, could have progressed with us to become a top front man. My dear old Dad (who knew a thing or two about the Reds) said we should sign him when he was an under -21 player.

Wish him well. 26 eh? That's why they get paid the money they do. I'm 41 and still play every week. Imagine being told you cannot do the thing you love at 26. Must be gutting.

Well it could be worse, he could play for us.

[Fugitive]

Apparently, he is looking to Sue Chelsea and Wright-Phillips.

Apparently, he is looking to Sue Chelsea and Wright-Phillips.

 

What's he looking to them for ?? Sue Chelsea is a useless bitch, she'll be no help at all. I always liked Ashton, bit of a berk like but all the same, had ability and thought if he could have gotten a regular run and stayed fit could have been a great player.

Shame, I know Dave Usher loves people called Deano.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

I'm sad to read this, I always thought Ashton was a good player. It's always sad to read of people retiring when they're 26. I'm sure he's well set for life however.

[Thants]

Sign him up.

[Silvah]

Sign him up.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Better then anything we've got bar Torres blah blah blah.....

think he means Retire In Peace?:biggrin:

 

shame when any player has to retire through injury

[ZonkoVille77]

Poor Bloke - I'd be gutted at his age.

 

Just hope he doesn't turn to the dark side of drinking, partying and women....

 

eh wait, that's the good side !

[Warwick Hunt]

26 my arse. He looked about 40 odd

[Faustus]

Seriously though, shame about his injuries because I thought he was a decent player.

 

Had a stormer in the Cup Final against us a few years back.

[Kurt]

Sign him up.

 

Agreed...he`d pass our medical with ease...

[WaltonRed]

I thought he had it all and was capable of going all the way.

 

Always a shame when someone has to pack in so young.

 

He'll probably stay in the game doing something or other and lets face it he's probably got enough in the bank to never have to work again

After the cup win against westham i taught we would have signed him. He had a stormer that day. Shame he had to retire. 26 way too young.

[Strontium]

Sorry for the fellow, but from a Liverpool fan's point of view - thank fuck for that. Now we won't be pertually linked with this plodding donkey of a footballer.

[mrw74]

Very sad day for Dean. I met him a few times when he was at Crewe and he was always very polite and took the time to speak to people. A genuinely nice guy whose career is now over, such a shame.

eh wait, that's the good side !

 

Allegedly there is not much danger of him turning to women 8)

[Manny]

It's a bit shitty for him not to be able to play the game he (presumably) loves again, but I suspect he's already richer than me and will stay ahead of me for quite some time, so I find it very difficult to muster any kind of deep sympathy.

[05 Milan]

Maybe if the fat blob had managed to stay of out of Burger King now and again, he wouldn't have built up a fitness record that would make Aurelio blush.

 

Give him 6 months and he'll give Diego a run for his money
