Whatever Happened To... Mick Stockwell
Stockwell retired from professional football at the end of the 2002-03 season, aged 38, having made 146 appearances for the U's over three seasons, scoring 24 goals.
Following his retirement he signed for Heybridge Swifts as a player-coach, but quit after a few months and joined Woodbridge Town in September 2003. He later took over the managerial reins at Woodbridge in May 2004 and spent three seasons in charge, resigning in November 2007 because of the clubs financial situation.
Away from football, he has done some radio work for SGR/Heart FM as a summariser for Ipswich Town games and has his own business, Mick Stockwell Fitting Services, fitting kitchens, bathrooms and the like.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Heybridge Swifts, Woodbridge Town.

Our visit to Sheffield United is tomorrow night, with kick-off at 8pm, thanks once again to our good friends at Sky Sports. Bramall Lane is about a mile to the south of Sheffield city centre.
For a long time it seemed as though Leeds were about to lose ground in the promotion race, but as Sunderland tired we produced a dramatic comeback in the last 12 minutes, to effectively knock the Black Cats out of the title race.
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.

National fans' campaigning group the Football Supporters Association has picked up on the constant inconvenience that our fans are subjected to by Sky TV, while the Supporters Trusts of Leeds and Portsmouth have both issued statements about the kick-off change for next month’s game at Fratton Park.
For the third game running Leeds went into a potentially difficult game but came out and totally dominated the opposition, this time putting four goals past a Watford side who had no answer to the quick passing game of our front line.
This season’s visit to Watford is tomorrow night, with kick off at 7.45, and if you weren’t lucky enough to get a ticket, it live on Sky Sports Plus. You’ll find Vicarage Road just to the west of Watford town centre.
Both Leeds and Millwall have issued statements to condemn some chanting from a minority of visiting fans at yesterday’s cup tie, which referenced the murder of two of our fans in Istanbul 25 years ago.
A much-changed Leeds side never quite got into it’s stride, and with Millwall’s goalkeeper in fine form, two goals from Femi Azeez were enough to take the South-East London mob through to the next round of the FA Cup.
For the second time in four days Leeds faced a side who came into the game in good form, but again we controlled the game, But this time we wasted a number of good chances and the win over Coventry City was far less comfortable than it should have been.
