Holmes keen on return to Avenue
The ex-Blackburn Rovers and Charlton Athletic midfielder enjoyed five years with the Avenue Stadium club after his professional career was ended by a tackle from Wolverhampton Wanderers' Kevin Muscat. The 38-year-old has also developed a career running children's soccer schools in the Bournemouth area and helps out with AFC Bournemouth's centre of excellence. However, he has been linked with a return to the Magpies as a coach - a possibility he will not rule out. "It would be nice to help the club because I had good times here," said Holmes, who attended Saturday's home game with Bromley. "(Dorch director of football) Shaun Brooks is an old playing colleague of mine and a good friend, so we will have to see what happens. I have not spoken to him about anything. "I have been very busy coaching in kids' football and helping out at AFC Bournemouth. But things change in football - and coaching in men's football would interest me absolutely. I have done my level-B coaching badge and I get assessed in February." Meanwhile, Saturday's game was attended by 86-year-old Ron Cox, a member of the 1954 Dorchester team who reached the second round of the FA Cup, going out to York City in front of 5,500 fans at the old Avenue ground. Cox said: "I had been threatening to come down to the new ground week after week and I finally got here. It is a first-class stadium." |
