Can anyone remember the players name and whatever happened to him?

I think it's Simon Haworth Tony made his debut against Scotland in a friendly when he was 20. He played another couple or so matches for Wales but Coventry City, then a Premier League club, got him for £500,000 from us which was par for the course.
He only played about a dozen games for them, no goals, before he got sold to Wigan then Tranmere. I believe he is a non league manager now.

Newport? Barry Town? Think he went to one of, if not both of them.
