Past Players: Where are they now?
By The Prof
April 8 2007
There has been a big turn over in players over the last ten years at Quins, here are the destinations (as far as we know) of a number of those players. I'd like to keep this as up to date as possible so if you hear of any players moving club can you drop me a line.

In the "Past Players: Where are they now?" (over on the left hand side of the screen) there is no mention of any Claxtons!
Pourquoi?
Does anyone know what Mike Coley is doing now?

It started to be able to keep a track on where players are now playing rather than what retired players are doing

Former academy flanker Phil Burgess is playing in National 2 North for Loughborough Students. I'm not totally sure but I have a feeling he's even turned out for Gloucester A when they've been short of players.

He was at The Stoop on Sunday, and I saw him at Esher v L. Scottish a few weeks ago. Obviously likes watching as well as playing.

Do you think Billy Fulton would like to come and build that cellar I designed for him and Ben Willis?
Bayonne play Wasps on Sat 12th Dec so I'm hoping to catch up with Ace. Surely he can't run that quickly any more?

Don't mean to be nit-picky but isn't Tony Diprose's title a bit more than Academy Assistant Coach? Programme has him as first XV Backs coach and Academy Manager. He is a great bloke. We mustn't under-sell him.

Or do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

Deadly, the only player by that name to have played for the 1st XV was EC Bloxam who made one appearance on 27/12/1920 against the Royal Air Force at Queen's Club. He was on the right wing, didn't score but we won 24-6.

I think I read that Darren Clayton is off to Esher, and wasn't Andy Gommarsall released by Leeds

Just had lunch with Tani Fuga at his new Gaff (Nando's) in Ponsonby Road, Auckland, accompanied by the mighty Philip Miles! TF mentioned that Ace and Steven So'oialo are down in Wellington (Coolest Capital in the world) New Zealand.

TOULOUSE, France – South African international duo Gurthro Steenkamp and Gary Botha penned three-year deals with French champions Toulouse on Friday after signing from Blue Bulls.
A World Cup winner in 2007, the 30-year-old prop Steenkamp played five matches at the 2011 World Cup where his team reached the quarterfinals.
Botha, also part of the 2007 squad, spent the last three seasons with Harlequins in England.

I thought Gary left us to return to SA and his family. Have I got this wrong? I'm even more excited to see how we front up against Toulouse, Gary was a terrific player.

Ollie Kohn seems to be running an interesting sideline, not only in hog-roasts, but also in modelling suits for 'oversized' gentlemen....

That looks suspiciously like the entrance to Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons in the background. Surely that's a conflict of interest?

Burgess is in his second season with Pirates.
Last season he scored 14 tries.....not bad for a back row forward

Luke Sherriff playing his final game before retiring this wednesday captaining Major Stanleys XV v Oxford University.
Since he signed for Nottingham from Quins he's been one of the best and most consistant players in the championship. Not resigned by Notts this season and we've struggled at flanker, but signing ex Newcastle Brent Wilson hopefully will fill the void left behind after Lukes departure.

Best of luck to Luke Sherriff in the future, he was a very nice chap.
I remember him being thought of as Simon Miall's butler and the shouts from the stand of "hit him with your butler Simon!"
