I saw on the football league show Josh Low scoring for Cheltenham, I thought i recognised the name and in my mind I thought he played for us around 1995/1996 !! I always thought he was good going forward but always lost the ball too often to cut it !!! I just checked on wikipedia and it emerges he was with us later than I thought 1999 !!! I think my mind is now clouded by too many polish beers and magners cider :ayatollah: for those that remember him heres some info from wikipedia >

Joshua David Low (born 15 February, 1979 in Bristol, Avon) is a professional footballer who has represented the Wales national under-21 football team. He is currently playing for Football League Two side Cheltenham Town.

After spells at Bristol Rovers, Farnborough Town and Leyton Orient he made his name at Cardiff City, before being transferred to Oldham Athletic, where he spent one season before becoming Northampton Town's record signing, costing the club £165,000 in July 2003.

Low became a popular figure amongst the Northampton fans, who gave him the nickname J-Lo. Predominantly a right winger, he can also play in defence or central midfield. He scored 5 goals in 29 League Two appearances in the 2005/06 season.

In the summer of 2006, Low was signed by Leicester City manager Rob Kelly, after his contract expired at Northampton.

Low made his debut for the Leicester City first team as a substitute in the 1-0 home defeat to Burnley.

After struggling to adapt to Championship level football, Low was sold to Peterborough United for a fee that could rise to £100,000 but was released at the end of the 2007-08 season

However, after Cheltenham Town came calling, he quickly moved on, signing a two year deal with the Robins.

After failing to make an impact at his new club, on the 23rd September, Low was one of six squad members placed on the transfer list by Cheltenham Town manager Martin Allen. In November 2008 Low signed on a months loan with Conference National side Forest Green Rovers. After a month at Forest Green, Low returned to first team action at Cheltenham.

We had him here when he was very young, He got loads of stick as he used to bottle out of tackles. He was very quick but could not cross the ball. I thought he was garbage. :ayatollah:

I read somewhere he had qualified as a solicitor.
He decided to have one more season as a pro.

my memory's of him are the great runs taking players on then losing the ball once he got near the penalty area :lol: but one of our top players at the time , we weren't blessed with talent back then.

His best game by far was the rearranged game against Shrewsbury when we beat them 4 nil (I think). He was awsome that night but it was a good game against very many disappointing ones.

He played for Leicester against us in one of the worst games I ever saw at The Walkers a few years back (our best effort was a Super Kev shot from the touchline that went about 80 feet over).

I was trying to scare him by shouting BOO everytime he got the ball remembering his lack of bottle!
