Whatever Happened To... Simon Brown
After five years with the U's, Brown joined Hibernian on a free transfer in 2004. He spent three years at Hibs, but failed to hold down a regular place in the first team and was released at the end of the 2006-07 season, having made 65 appearances - his highlight being a Scottish League Cup winners medal in 2007, despite not appearing in the final.
He returned to England in the summer of 2007, signing for Brentford on a two-year deal. After one season he was transfer listed and spent the majority of the 2008-09 season on loan at Darlington, making 26 appearances for the Quakers. He returned to the Bees before the end of the season and made one appearance for the team which won League Two. Despite being offered a new contract at Griffin Park, he left Brentford having made 30 appearances.
In September 2009 he joined Northampton Town in a player-coach role, but left the Cobblers in the January transfer window to join Cambridge United and resume his playing career. Now aged 35, he is still on the books at Cambridge, but has yet to make an appearance this season.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Hibernian (Scotland), Brentford, Darlington (loan) Northampton Town, Cambridge United.

Ex Silkmen striker Matthew Tipton has been in superb form over the past few weeks for Dundalk. A couple of weeks ago he hit his first hat-trick for the club.
The Silkmen Show season 2 episode 4 is now available to download from iTunes. Host Nick Wright and Macclesfield Town fan Jon Smart discussed topics such as Wycombe, Vale and the SST coach.
The SST hope to run a coach to Crewe Alexandria on Tuesday 28 Sep 2010 dependent on numbers. Seat prices will be £7 for SST members and £12 for non SST members. For the coach to run at these seat prices a minimum of 35 people must have booked seats.
Macclesfield Town have a tricky trip to Wycombe on Saturday afternoon and we are still looking for that first league win of the season. Can we do it at Adams Park? Maybe. Look what I have found within the archives. A bit of a treet for Macc fans.
Macclesfield fans have only two weeks left to register their vote for Carl Tremarco to be named a North West player of the year.
