Sam Mantom

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Must have taken a big cut in wages from his time with us?. Maybe his family are well 'minted'?.

They play together down at Thorpe apparently

Now captaining Hemel Hempstead Town in the Conference south

Like Dieng. Both had ability and would be okay in a winning team but didn't have the desire to make it happen. Some players set the level, others drop down to those they are playing with. Compare these two with the likes of Mark Bentley and Nicky Bailey, both of whom came from non league and grasped the mettle, driving others forward in the process.

I always criticise others for saying ‘he would be a good player at this level’, but surely Sam Mantoc is capable of playing at a higher level than the conference South, And would be a no-brainer for most league two sides.

Sam’s problem was having to do all of Dieng’s work in addition to his own.

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

It didn't seem like he enjoyed playing towards the end of his stint at Roots Hall. I always thought that was the issue,

 

[OldBlueLady]

I thought he lost a lot of confidence in his own ability, so, if he needs to go non league to re-discover his confidence, then he's going the right way about it.

I strongly suspect that he has a good source of income/profession outside football and doesn’t need the enhanced income that full-time League One football would bring him.

A bit surprising Hemel only won 3-2 then.
Billericay did better than the other 3 Essex sides,whose aggregate score was 0-11.

 

[BoyWonder2]

Has now left Hemel due to the travelling involved.

.....and joined Rushall Olympic, a division lower - despite being Hemel's captain last season. Still only 30. Has clearly given up on the professional game in a big way.

 

[SUFCGoals]

I heard he works for Amazon over in Tilbury. Must have moved on from there if he’s moving closer to his family.

He has gone back to Rushall again then - went there in 2020.… it’s near Walsall - he is from the West Midlands.
