Where Are They Now: The Bermuda Two

When John Sillett returned to Edgar Street as manager in the summer of 1991 he brought with him a pair of internationals.

Rumour always had it that Snoz brought the pair in to justify his Bermudan beach break, but few current internationals had ever worn the black and white - let alone two at the same time. Meshach Wade and Kentoine 'Jed' Jennings arrived as the high profile signings that never lived up to the 'international' expectations.

Both were used much as utility players, equally indifferent in full back or midfield roles. The pair made infrequent appearances across their two years at the club, totting up only 35 between them - mostly while Snoz was still in charge.

But, still to this day, the pair are top stars in the Bermudan Island Soccer League. Both were named in the annual end of season all-star game in July - on different sides - in full back positions and Jennings is still is a regular squad member for the international side, 17 years after his debut, while still a regular feature for his North Village side. He is, however, on footballing probation until the end of the year following a six match ban for foul language to a match official.

Wade is Head Coach at Southampton Rangers, narrowly missing out on promotion to the top flight of Bermudan football in his first foray in management, but saw his last outing for the international side in early 2006.
