Kes (as he is known) played what looks like being his last game for Sutton on Tuesday, in our 6-0 victory over Godalming Town in the Surrey Senior Cup. He'd been out of action with a groin injury since our FA Cup tie with Notts County, and has recently been advised that he needs either surgery or a long lay-off. So he's decided to retire (without completely ruling out a come-back).
He joined Sutton from Eastleigh in our grim relegation season of 07/08 but decided to stick with us through our three seasons back in the Ryman League. He was rewarded by being made team captain and leading the side to last season's title and an exciting return to life in Conference South.
Always a reliable presence in our back line, Kes weighed in with the occasional goal (including a spactacular mis-hit cross at Bury Town). He's a top fellah and will be missed. After the final whistle on Tuesday he was given a suitably rousing send-off by the Sutton 'hardcore'.
