Reading between the lines in the article, he could probably sort out most of his problems if he were to stop drinking and get some help for his head stuff.
Keith Tuck, defending, told the court Hurst had aspirations of becoming a player/manager.
He added: "He is a man who in the past has had a successful career as a professional footballer and has qualifications in football as a coach in England."
Successful career? I nearly shat myself laughing.
12 clubs since he left us in 2014 and seems to have fallen out with most of them. Ending up at the dizzy heights of Sutton Coldfield Town and Hednesford.
Looks like that could be a custodian outcome really. Not a very clever thing to do in the current environment.
I didn't at first, but then remembered seeing him play once - and he scored. He looked a fairly decent player but, for context, it was a pre-season friendly against Oakwood that we won by something like a eight goal margin.
I do remember John Gregory substituting him after twenty minutes - I can’t remember the opposition though.

I think that was the game against Preston when he tried to play 3 at the back and it was an absolute disaster: we were 2-0 after 20 minutes and all over the place. We drew 2-2 in the end.

At least, I think I have the right player
Indeed....the days when the club management thought that by stuffing Oakwood or East Grinstead it set you up for a promotion push....

Now I remember him he was terrible that day as both of their goals came from down his side and if i remember right he never played for us again went out on loan or transfered soon after this game.
