Former Tandridge Players

The vast majority of players who have ever taken part in matches arranged under the umbrella of the Tandridge League did so (and continue to do so) for the fun and enjoyment of being part of a Grass-roots team and for the satisfaction of playing their favourite sport, whilst representing their club alongside their friends and team mates.

Whilst many may have dreamt of progressing to a professional career, few will have done so, but these players will still look back fondly at their time in the League.

That said, many Clubs also look back with pride and satisfaction at the part they played in giving some young players their first steps and grounding on their way to professional success.

Some of these former Tandridge players, who went on to enjoy successful professional or semi-professional careers are proudly listed below.
