Was reading the papers following the Chelsea game and interested to read the number of times Mildenhall was described as a journeyman lower league goalkeeper.

It got me thinking that in our current crop of players, and seeing as we've been in the lower leagues all but one of the last ten or so years, we have so few journeymen.

Mildenhall is definitely one having had several clubs.
Francis, Clarke, Barrett and Sankofa have had three or fewer clubs each.
Herd has had just us.
Betsy is a journeyman I'd say.
JFC, Macca and Grant are all two club men in England.
Moussa just us.
Dougie was at Palace for a very long time so isn't.
Barney just us and Spurs.
Revell is on the borderline probably having had Cambridge, Braintree and Brighton among his former clubs.
Laurent, wouldn't say so, dunno how many he played for aborad though.
Walker, just us and Charlton.

So I'd go fro just three- Mildy, Betsy and Revs from the current crop, what do you think? And can anyone think of a time when we were nearly entirely made up of so-called journeymen?
