Just signed for non league Solihull Moors short term til January. Still only 32.
Could we have used him until then as an emergency fill in or has he shot his bolt?
 
He's been done for a few years now, his trip over the Atlantic was his retirement. Sleeping with Taylor Swift and Kaka's missus soon ruined that journey for him like...

I trust this is your ironic side shining through... but for the avoidance of doubt, there is a clue in your own post 😀
 
He enjoyed himself over there, but got another injury to add to his long term injuries and he would be at best a non league player now sadly. Pity as back a few years ago he was a great solid cb for Preston and also for Ireland. He scored against Italy in qualifying for euro 2012 and then scored in finals v Croatia too.
 
Looked fantastic sometimes but was never the same after he came back from Boro on loan. Will never forget the abuse he got whilst he was still our player but played against us for them. I also won't forget some of the things I heard about him from people who were closer to him whilst he was here - if what I've heard is true then he was quite the player off the pitch as well.

I see he's linked up again with one Darren Carter who's also moved back to his hometown club, they've just had their manager resign after less than a month in charge and they're bottom of the table.
 
Solihull motors manager has walked out after 26 days. They are home to Wycombe in the cup Saturday.
 
One of the most overrated players to pull on a PNE shirt. I never really got the love in, he was average at best.

Tried to play the game with the arrogance and swagger of Sean Gregan and when it came off he looked a good player but when it didn't he went missing. Gregan oozed self-belief whereas St Ledger looked as if he wanted you to believe he was supremely confident. Two different things

Good player but I would agree, he was average at times.

Great name though. I bet TH likes it, sounds like horse racing.
 
On a related subject - I don't recall many teams being promoted from this division without an absolutely rock solid pair of centre halves. Anybody even dreaming of the play-offs needs a leader or two in these positions.

His form was very much dependant on who his manager was and who he was playing alongside. He shone under Irvine with Mawene/Chilvers guiding him but, as prev said, he was never the same after returning from Boro, especially with Irvine being sacked one game into his return. His attitude also stank and that was evident under Fergie/Brown.

Chilvers wasn't the same after the injury which is a huge shame as he was showing the class which took him to Arsenal as a kid. Tried to come back from his injury too soon and never got back to full fitness before he retired. Is friend of a friend and loved his time at North End.
