Jon Challinor Released

[RedPaul]

JC played 45 minutes for Kettering tonight in their 2-1 defeat at Grimsby

Challs is well into "more clubs than Tiger Woods" territory.
Never settled after leaving us it seems. Shame - fond memories.

I always liked Challinor And i think he made a Huge mistake leaving us as we offered him a big deal to stay.

Im Sure if you asked him he would say leaving us was his BIG mistake!

Wasn't it dictated by his missus? Seem to remember a rumour that she wanted to follow a career 'up Lundin' and that had a bearing on his decision to move.

I liked him as well. Good player on his day.
Just seemed sometimes that, like a few others, he thought that he was bigger than the Club and worth much more.
Shame.

I remember going to Aldershot with everyone noisily singing "We've got John Challinor" at the 'Shots fans stood next to us on the terrace under that low roof, as of course we'd signed him from them. At the time I rated him, and from the singing around me so did most others. Bit sad when a career tails off like that but it seems some just can't make the step up.

Always liked him , talented non league footballer.

never made the grade in the league.

Bit of a journeyman now.
