Ashley Sestanovich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ashley Sestanovich (Born September 18, 1981) is an English footballer of Grenadian and Croatian descent. He has said he will play for Grenada in the next FIFA World Cup qualifiers, although whether they'll pick him is another thing. He's played for dozens of teams in the past couple of years and had short spells with Manchester City and Millwall before hot-footing it to Belgium where he had a short spell with Antwerp. He then ended up in France where he had trials with Metz. After this, Ireland called and Sestanovich found himself as part of a bizarre 'Dream Team' attempt to get Eircom League status for Mullingar Town FC, a small team who operated from the County Westmeath capital town Mullingarbut Mullingar Town failed in their Eircom League bid despite Moore's millions . Sestanovich dipped his toes in non-league football, and he then ended up on the books at Stockport County. He was then signed to Sheffield United and went out on loans to non-League Scarborough before joining Grimsby Town on a season long loan from the 2004-05 season. This was ended prematurely due, to among other things, Ashley refusing to act as a substitute and leaving the ground before a match had started and getting sent off 4 minutes after coming on as a substitute in a later match[1]. He signed for Grays Athletic in June 2006, but his contract was terminated the following month after he was arrested and remanded in custody awaiting trial after being charged with conspiracy to rob. He is currently on the books at non-league Farnborough Town. Perhaps his most famous moment - bar the armed robbery allegations - came when he stood in for Thierry Henry during filming for a Nike advert in Rome. The boyhood Arsenal fan told the BBC at the time: "I met Thierry Henry when I was filming an advert for a Nike commercial in Rome and I played the part of his body double. I met all the players - the likes of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Luis Enrique were all there. Sylvain Wiltord, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry were there from Arsenal and it was great to see them face-to-face - but I would like to meet them on the pitch at some point."
