I had high hopes for Eddie but he drifted down the leagues didnt he?

He did but made a living out of it though.

I think he ended up at Ipswich for quite a few years didn't he? He's definitely one of the ones who carved out a good career in the lower leagues. Unfortunately it was before big money came into the game at all levels, so I'd imagine now he's either doing coaching/managing, or has a regular job somewhere.

Playing career
Born in Liverpool, Youds began his career with Everton and also played for Cardiff City, Wrexham, Ipswich Town, Bradford City, Charlton Athletic, Huddersfield Town and Grays Athletic, before retiring in 2005 at 35.

He was captain for Bradford City's 1996 Second Division play-off final victory against Notts County. While at Charlton, he played in the club's dramatic win over Sunderland in the 1998 First Division play-off final, winning 7–6 on penalties after a 4–4 draw.

Personal life
Youds now works as a property development manager in London.[1]

Property development manager - well, I bet that's a decent game to be in nowadays.

Former Blue Stuart Rimmer - played for us 1981-1985.

Made his debut for us as a 17 year old vs Swansea in May 1982.

Last game for us was a 0-3 loss against Wolves in December 1983.
