Paul McLaren

**Paul Andrew McLaren** (born 17 November 1976) is an English former professional footballer who last played for Oxford United in 2012. He was born in High Wycombe.

## Career

He began his career as a trainee for Luton Town, playing over 160 games over eight seasons. He left Luton to step up a Division for Sheffield Wednesday where he played 96 games and scored six goals. He turned down a contract offer, however, by Chris Turner after the club's relegation and subsequent failure to gain promotion to The Championship. He played for Rotherham United under Ronnie Moore and in the 2006–07 close season signed a two-year contract for Moore's new club Tranmere Rovers having left Rotherham. In his debut season at the centre of the Rovers midfield McLaren started 42 of Tranmere's 46 games in League One, and a further 43 the following season and being named Player of the year.

McLaren is a central midfielder, with an excellent assist record—13 during the 2007–08 season—mainly due to his passing and set piece ability.

He turned down a new contract offer from Tranmere and instead, on 1 July 2008, signed a two-year deal with League Two club Bradford City. He was one of four Bradford players to make his debut on the opening day of the 2008–09 season against Notts County, which Bradford won 2–1. His first goal for his new club came on 30 August 2008, with the opening goal in a 3–2 defeat to Aldershot Town. He was a regular in the Bradford side but missed a month of the season during February and March because of a calf injury, before leaving at the end of the season.

On 10 July 2009 McLaren rejoined Tranmere on a two-year contract. He scored his first Tranmere goal upon his return when he scored at home to Grimsby in a first-round League Cup tie on 11 August 2009. On 26 November 2010, McLaren decided to leave Tranmere Rovers as he wasn't enjoying the type of football they were playing. A little over a month later, on 31 December 2010, he joined Oxford United until the end of the 2010–11 season.
 In May 2012, McLaren left the club and rejoined his family in Cheshire.

Murder of Mushin Ahmed

On 10 August 2015, 81-year-old grandfather Mushin Ahmed was racially abused and attacked in Rotherham by 30-year-old pair Dale Jones and Damien Hunt. He died 11 days later in hospital. In February 2016, Jones was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 32 years, while Hunt was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 14 years in prison.

## Murder

Jones and Hunt had been abusing sambuca and cocaine the previous day. After racially abusing an Asian taxi driver, at 3:20 am, they encountered Ahmed on Doncaster Road, where he was dressed in traditional clothing to attend morning prayers. They followed him, with Jones making the false accusation that he was a "groomer". On Fitzwilliam Road, Hunt punched Ahmed, and Jones stamped on and kicked his face.

Ahmed was still conscious, but was abandoned for two hours before being found. Meanwhile, Jones and Hunt washed their clothes of blood, and the latter went fishing to provide an alibi. Ahmed died eleven days later from facial and eye socket fractures, and brain damage.

## Investigation

A 21-year-old man was investigated, but released without further action in October 2015.

The print of Jones' Adidas trainers matched an injury on Ahmed's face, while Hunt's DNA was found on his broken dentures. CCTV footage proved that both men were in the vicinity at the murder, and each suspect blamed the other wholly for the attack.

At Sheffield Crown Court, Jones was convicted of murder. The same charge was put against Hunt, who was cleared, but convicted of manslaughter by the jury.

Mick Gooding

**Michael Charles Gooding** (born 12 April 1959) is a former professional footballer and football manager.

In the twilight of a successful playing career, Gooding was appointed joint player-manager of Reading with Jimmy Quinn when manager Mark McGhee acrimoniously left to take the reins at Leicester City. Under their guidance, Reading finished second in the First Division but was left to battle for a place in the Premier League through the playoffs, as the Premier League was being reduced in size from 22 teams to 20. Reading were beaten 4-3 by Bolton Wanderers in the playoff final at Wembley.

Gooding and Quinn remained in charge at Elm Park for two seasons afterward, until they were replaced by Terry Bullivant after failing to mount any further promotion challenges.

After Reading, Gooding had a short spell at Southend United, before retiring from football. He remained at Roots Hall for a while as a coach.

He has since carved himself a career as a radio commentary pundit, performing such roles as co-commentator for BBC Radio Berkshire's coverage of Reading's league matches, while also working as an estate agent in Tadley.

Despite playing 701 league games in a career stretching 20 years, Gooding never played top-division football – the closest he came to reaching the top flight was with Reading when they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in 1995.

Arguably, the highlight of his career was the winning goal he scored in the 1990 League Cup Final for Nottingham Forest against Oldham Athletic, the only goal of the game.

In July 1996, Jemson joined Oxford United for a fee of £60,000. During his time there, he had loan spells with Watford, Coventry City, and Rotherham United. In April 1996 he scored both Rotherham's goals in a 2–1 win over Shrewsbury Town, for whom he later played 109 games, in the Football League Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium.

Jemson also gained national fame in January 2003, after scoring the Shrewsbury goals that knocked Everton out of the FA Cup third round. He put the Shrews into a first-half lead with a free kick and, after Niclas Alexandersson had equalised for Everton, glanced a last-minute header past Richard Wright, to give Shrewsbury a famous giant-killing victory. Having earlier scored once against Stafford Rangers and twice against Barrow, his two goals against Everton took his tally to 5 in the competition meaning he ended up as top scorer.

In 2010, he replaced Eoin Jess in the Nottingham Forest's Masters team for the 2010 HKFC International Soccer Sevens tournament.

## International career

Jemson was capped once for the England under-21s, in a 0–0 friendly against Wales under-21s in December 1990.

## Personal life

In 2011, Jemson was reportedly training as a fireman in Bingham, Nottinghamshire. He also maintains his interest in football and Nottingham Forest, starting a blog about his former team in October 2011.

Wally Quinton

**Walter Quinton** (13 December 1917 – 8 March 1996) was an English professional footballer who made 85 appearances in the Football League playing for Rotherham United, Birmingham City, Brentford and Shrewsbury Town.

## Career

Quinton was born in Anston, which was then in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He played local football for Dinnington Athletic before joining Rotherham United of the Football League Third Division North in July 1938. Described as "an accomplished right back", Quinton made his debut on 8 October 1938 and played in every game but one for the rest of the 1938–39 season.

In the 1939 close season, he signed for Birmingham, newly relegated to the Second Division, but the suspension of competitive football for the duration of the Second World War prevented him proving himself at the higher level. A short, stocky defender, he played more than 100 games for Birmingham in the wartime leagues, but his only appearances in the Football League came as a run of eight games early in the 1947–48 season; Ken Green took over the right-back position as soon as he was demobbed.

Together with Jackie Goodwin, Quinton joined Brentford in a £7000 deal in April 1949. He had one season in the first team before dropping to the reserves, then, after a trial with Southend United in August 1952, he finished off his league career with a few games for Shrewsbury Town. He later played for Snowdown Colliery Welfare of the Kent League.

Quinton died in 1996, aged 78.

Ronnie Burke

Template:Other people

Template:Unreferenced

**Ronald Stewart Burke** (13 August 1921 – December 2003) was a footballer who played for Manchester United, Huddersfield Town, Rotherham United & Exeter City.

## Career

Rotherham United made several attempts to sign Ronnie Burke during the World War II years, but Manchester United got his signature. He made his debut for United against Sunderland on the 26 October 1946. Despite a great goals per game ratio (34 appearances and 22 goals) he was called upon infrequently due to the consistently good form of Morris, Rowley and Pearson. Frustrated by lack of first team opportunities and following a number of transfer requests he was allowed to leave. He then moved to Huddersfield Town, but suffered a serious knee injury, and lost his place in the Terriers team.

### Rotherham

He made his debut for Rotherham in Division 2 (now Championship), scoring two goals in a 4–3 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Good Friday 1953, and was unlucky not to get a hat-trick in his first Millers appearance.

In the next season he scored a hat-trick in the Millers 5–2 victory over Derby County on 5 December 1953, and repeated his achievement in a 7-0 thrashing of Oldham Athletic in March 1954. He finished the 1953/54 season with 33 goals, and was second highest goalscorer in Division 2.

In the 1954/55 season he scored all four Millers goals in a 4–2 victory against Bury in September 1954, but his knee injury problems flared up again and he was made available for transfer in summer 1955.

### Later clubs

He then moved to Exeter City. His career at Millmoor was very successful, but was cut short by injury. After this, he moved to non-League football, first in 1957 with Tunbridge Wells United then on to Biggleswade Town.Template:Citation needed

Nathaniel Kerr

**Nathaniel** "**Nat**" **Kerr** (born 31 October 1987) is an English former professional footballer whose preferred position was at right back. He last played at amateur level in Stockport in 2015.

## Career

Kerr started his career at Crewe Alexandra youth academy but was picked up by Rotherham United after being released. He made his debut on 21 April 2007 in the 1–0 defeat at Yeovil Town coming on as a late sub for David Worrell. Rotherham had already been relegated at this point of the season and manager Mark Robins played Kerr in all the remaining games. The following season Kerr didn't play at all for the Millers but was loaned out in November 2007 to Northwich Victoria. RAt the end of the season he was released.

On 13 October 2008, Kerr joined Conference National team Barrow on non contract terms after impressing joint management duo Dave Bayliss and Darren Sheridan playing for the Bluebirds' reserve side. He made his debut on 18 October in the home win over Eastbourne Borough. He did not gain a regular place in the team, however, and was released by the club in May 2009.

## Assault conviction

On 30 August 2014, while playing for the Longsight pub team AFC Gold Cup, Kerr was sent off for deliberately stamping on the leg of Stuart Parsons. Kerr's actions resulted in Parsons' ankle requiring a pin and plate due to it being broken in two places. Kerr was found guilty of assault, and received a sentence of one year's imprisonment, as a result of the intentional "long jump" tackle.
