31 years old, 2 ACL ruptures, 428 1st team appearances, 86 goals, double that in Assist, 8 play off campaigns, shove a few promotions in there, as well! Winger, Fullback, Wing back, Centre Mid ... and I’m still hungry as ever! You have to love and respect the game ❤️⚽️
Some of these young footballers really are delusional ain’t they..go out on loan and play some MENS football about you’re happy with professional status and under 23’s tip tap football...until you receive a challenge from a man playing to eat and pay bills you ain’t ready
#DPMO
I keep telling these kids...get men’s football experience as early as possible... no 1st team manager gives two shits about your 50 cat one under 23’s apperances when they need to win
Can’t wait to get started
@DulwichHamletFC
the most excited I’ve ever been about a pre season! I’ve been following my local side for the longest now just can’t wait to put on the shirt and create some history with the boys

My time

SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT - Look who we've signed... Anthony Cook. The new Winger for The Wands, looking forward to seeing him on the pitch! Click here to read more -
I’ll be honest… I see this at least once a game at step 3… difference is after Saka’s 1st touch either the ball or Man is in row Z…if a defender backs off after that 1st touch he will never be seen again
You know what this new variant of covid is called…THE FLU people it’s called the fucking! The flu has been around like forever and has been dropping bodies before covid! Honestly we can’t let it control us, we are going to have to live with it, vaccinated or not! 🤬
Anthony 40+ games and double figure goal season completed with

💛🖤 We did underachieve as a group, but thank god for continuing to allow me to play the game I love! So much more life left in these legs! Little rest and then we’re back at it!
The rabble you are amazing! Great travelling support from the
@DulwichHamletFC
faithful again matched by a great away performance from the boys! 3 wins in a row going into the last home game of the season... oh and this one felt good as well 😉
This has been a very difficult season off the pitch but going out every week with this group of Men has been the perfect Medicine! Every single person to a man has played their part in creating history for the oldest club in London
@OfficialWands
💛🖤 PlayOffs here we come!!!
The Rabble you have been absolutely fantastic
@dulwichhamletfc
seriously what a club! Proud to have worn the famous Pink and Blue but however I am unable to commit to the clubs training schedule next season due to other commitments... but more importantly
#Home
🏠 💗💙
Delighted to be named player of the month for December
@DulwichHamletFC
... what a brilliant club.... If we continue with the attitude we have today the only way is up 💗💙
Step 2 is not elite football! 90% of us are grafting our sausage and onions off at work all day and night! This elite label needs to be removed to lets fans in, young players the chance to push on and players the chance to have our release for our mental state
#LetFansIn
The National League is consulting with clubs about whether they should start without fans.
Many Step 1 sides support starting behind closed doors.
More concern is coming from Step 2.
Enquiries are being made as to whether Step 2 could remove the 'elite' label & have fans.
It’s only right I highlight these two outstanding young attacking players in step last season…My resume allows me to qualify both Ruben Carvalho and Jamie Yila… both these young boys will flourish in the leagues above if given the opportunity and freedom to cause havoc
To everyone at
@DulwichHamletFC
thank you for absolutely everything this season...to be involved with a club I have followed for a long time has been an absolutely privilege and pleasure!!! This club are going places 💙💗
#AllThingsPinkAndBlue
Football is back and what an opening day victory…couldn’t be happy with this group of boys today, worked hard and created so many opportunities! Lovely to captain the side, get a brace and MOM on the debut as as well! We enjoy this one and go again next week
@OfficialWands
💛🖤
I have to apologies to the fans, management and my team mates for the late red card today
@DulwichHamletFC
...silly reaction from me and I’m sorry!!! Thank you to all the travelling fans for today and for the whole season. The support has been unreal!!!
Pre match preparation I will never take you for granted again...feels so good knowing tomorrow (weather permitting) that competitive football is back! Massive start of the season for us in the

just a shame our fans can’t attend!

With a whole new squad built it was always going to be difficult but, 3Managers, 68team mates, 3point deduction, debutant goalkeeper with 3 games to go…with everything against us ultimately we beat the drop! Thank you to all the

Wow....30 years old...Dirty Thirty...
My 20’s we’re my learning years for sure... but I’ve heard through the grape vine that your 30’s is the best decade of your life...
Bring it on.... Dirty 30 🎊🎉🎁🕺🏾
Happy bday…
What a way to win the 1st “home” game of the season with the last minute winner... the rabble were absolutely 1st class
@DulwichHamletFC
what a place 💙💗💗💙 (we won’t talk about officials)😊
All of us at Ebbsfleet United FC are shocked and saddened to hear of the death of our former striker Michael Thalassitis. RIP Michael – and our heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends.
Some may say I’m busy, some may say excited...but I would say I couldn’t give a rats backside about what you may think because I’m ready...48 hours it’s go time

Crocs are for taking the bins out, walking around the house and after sex to grab the rag or some juice. Other than that I don’t want to see or hear about rassclart Crocs in public…FULLSTOP!!!
My commitment and passion is one thing that I will never allow another human to question... pride just won’t allow it! We all fail sometimes in life but if your passion is at question...then you need to take a very long look in the mirror! 🦁

was the Wands top scorer last season and played in a number of positions including in goal. Welcome back skipper.
Massive 3 points today...great 1st half performance from the boys it could have been 5... but the 3 points are the most important at this stage of the season... what a place and what a crowd... big up yourself the rabble
@DulwichHamletFC
💗💙
Just reflecting on the 1st full season after covid! I’ve played GK, CB, RB, RWB, LWB, CM, DM, AM, LW, RW, LM, RM…Jesus! Managed to get a double double with Goals & Assist, also nicked the top scorer award as well didn’t I! Get me to that beach
@OfficialWands
🧡🖤
Very very baffled how non-league clubs are announcing signings already and from my knowledge we don’t even know when the beautiful game in its purists form will return 🥴
17 years away from Sunday league football and I can honestly say that was more challenging than most National league game’s and I’ve played a few! Not only was the quality 👌🏾 you can tell the difference when people play for the love of the game! You have to respect it!
Don’t underestimate that 3 points today away to a well drilled
@wokingfc
side top of the table atm for a reason... it’s going to take that commitment level as a minimum for the rest of the campaign...once again rabble you are amazing
@DulwichHamletFC
💗💙
Absolutely heart breaking to go out like that on Pens but I am proud of every single one of the Men this season and it’s been a privilege to captain this side. Unbelievable effort from everyone involved. It’s hurts right now but we can hold our heads up high
@OfficialWands
💛🖤
I’ve been blessed to have such supporting family, friends, colleagues and teammates etc, in what has been such a very difficult time in my life…Thanks for being patient with me and allowing me to deal with things in my way. I am forever grateful ❤️
Disappointing to loose the last home league game of the season but I have got to say the rabble you are amazing
@DulwichHamletFC
... never have so seen a set of fans so loyal 💗💙
In 2022 I have played GK, CB, RB, RWB, DM, CM, AM, LW, RW…. We are in February… only LB, LWB and CF left for the full set…I’m changing my name to Anthony James Milner-Cook
That’s what I’m talking about...a reaction and a we got the 3points away from home...

I am a London/English born Jamaican man…so if you hear me screaming bumbaclart when england score in my white string vest in 28 bumbafoot degrees on Sunday please don’t be scared or confused. Thanks 🙂
A massive congratulations goes out to Anthony Cook for his 100 Cray Wanderers appearances - He marked it last night by scoring a penalty against Phoenix Sports in the Kent Senior Cup -

You bring in a manager to keep a club up...the manager completes his assignment... you then sack the manager... sometimes football just does not make sense
South London Derby day and we came away with the points! The hard graft from the boys paid off today and we got the deserved victory! The rabble absolutely fantastic yet again 💗💙
@DulwichHamletFC
When I look back at the amount of time that I actually wasted while involved in full time football it makes me sick...not that I wasn’t keeping myself busy but honestly all you young kids out there don’t wait until the later part of your career to start something new!!!
I will take a 1-0 every day of the week! It’s all about grafting out results at this stage of the season and we’re out her grinding...enjoy the 3 points wings family
@wellingunited
A major part of the problem here is ignorance. As a black man born and raised in London I have ignored ignorance my whole life. I fully understand protesting, but peaceful protesting is the way forward....
Absolutely gutted today… football is such a horrible games at times and small margins make such a difference. Massive respect to
@DKedwell
working relentlessly and building a brand new squad from scratch in the middle of a pandemic as a 1st job in management. Nothing but respect
Take the point after a horrific first half, I can’t find your @ parksy but them goals were tremendous! But what a great second half reaction from the boys! You will struggle to find any Non-league fans in the england better than the rabble!
@DulwichHamletFC
you are amazing 💗💙
