If David Wheeler (or others) need convincing Ryman Premier can be a good showcase of your talents then look at this news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13634064.stmSteve Morison - goes from Ryman Premier to Premier League at 27. It can be done! I think you have just a good a chance to be picked up from the Ryman as BSS. (I also see one of King's players from Farnborough last year has also joined a League Two club). As an aside (!) Farnborough have announced plans to go full-time next year so many of the present players won't like that set up if they have good jobs AND they have appointed the Hayes & Yeading management team as new managers (ambitious as H&Y have managed to survive in BSP for a couple of seasons already).

It is worth mention that Morison was only on loan at Ryman Premier Bishop's Stortford in 2003 before returning to his club Northampton in League 2...but interesting story nonetheless!

Morgaro Gomis went from Lewes in Conference South to Dundee United in the SPL within 6 months and has played 150 times for them. Also became an international with Senegal.
He has just left Dundee Utd due to his wage demands. Step forward Steve King.

The big team for getting players to move up from this level, over in the Isthmian Premier, has to be Wealdstone. Stuart Pearce, Vinnie Jones and Jermaine Beckford all came from there, amongst a good few others.
Steve Morison is a proper donkey; he'll not be up in the Premiership for long. I rate Paul Lambert, but having bought Morison and BJ from Leeds, it looks like he's planning to go even more Stoke-y than Stoke. Can't see it working somehow.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought someone was talking about the CLUB and being slightly ambitious. ;D

"Morison a proper donkey" - the fans said that at Northampton (who dumped him), BS, Stevenage & Millwall until he started scoring goal after goal - from the Pan to Old Trafford - eeh aww .... He was good enough for the Championship and Millwall will struggle to stay up without him - no great shame! I predict after a shaky start he will do a DJ and get at least 10 goals. Unfortunately not a great example for Wheeler as like Campbell he is a physical forward (like Legge is a physical defender). Any examples of ball players making the climb - as unlike Spain body strength is key to success in England.

He was good enough for the Championship and Millwall will struggle to stay up without him Yeah, well, I'm one of Beckford's biggest fans and I'd call him a proper donkey too. He's got an atrocious first touch. But he ended up as Everton's second highest scorer off 14 starts and 18 subs which is staggering, really. And he scored the goal of the season against Chelsea But Morison doesn't have Beckford's pace and more importantly Norwich don't have Everton's midfield to feed him. Any examples of ball players making the climb - as unlike Spain body strength is key to success in England. True enough. I'd like to believe that 'technical' ball players get picked up by the bigger clubs' academies at an early stage; whereas perhaps the 'physical' player who acheives through relentless determination takes longer to prove their worth. But I suspect that there are many ball players who just drop out of the professional game because they can't cope with the physicality of lower leagues. Anyway, back to the Rooks and the search for the unknown Messi in East Sussex...
