Years ago he played for some Dutch team I had money on can’t remember who it was now but he scored virtually last kick of the game to win my bet. That’s the only reason I know of him lol. Think he played for Dagenham at some point too. I might be totally wrong but hey ho.

He went to Daggers after them.

We don't know our style of play yet, the season hasn't started.

With Phil Brown in charge I've got a pretty good idea

 

[SUFCStu]

Welcome Rhys.

Four signings and before pre-season... good to see.

A hard working team is my only guess right now. The last time Brown was in charge we was in LG1, now we're in the NL, so you guess is as good as mine how'll we'll play.

This is the first signing this break, that's got me going. A very warm welcome to Rhys Murphy.
Now just another goals for fun striker, a goal scoring winger, and 2 goal scoring midfielders. Then it will be like a Phil Brown side of old. Not much to ask, Lol.

Some of the goalkeeping in there was interesting… let’s hope that’s the standard next season and we might fill our boots from time to time!

Let's hope he doesn't aim too high. We're a football team, not a rugby team.

Funny. I was going to say the same. A lot of those should never have been goals!

 

[Weston's left foot]

I'm sure he scored the winner for Dagenham at Roots Hall in the league match but nobody seems to remember it lol. Unless I'm dreaming it of course lol

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

A big welcome to Rhys.

Been around a bit since leaving Arsenal as a kid, but scored everywhere he has been and still ambitious and obviously wants to be here, which is all good by me.

Start hitting the net for us fella from the 21st August when it counts!!

 

[Pak Power]

1 more hoping , and 1 more hopefully

Telstar?

He went to Daggers after them.

Yeh think that was the team was many moons ago lol.

 

[Zeuss]

Ronaldo is 36....I think that's all that is necessary to say about age.

The real Ronaldo is much older than that.

 

[Microbe]

Looks like he knows how to take a penalty!

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Why on earth would you move from the lovely Somerset countryside to Essex

He live locally in Essex area, that make his decision easier.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Well....Michael Kightly was 31 when he signed for us....but perhaps his decline was not age related!

Was brilliant against blackburn in the opening game of the season
