Anyone else remember him or this story?
I thought it was Bradley Allen but apparently not.
EDIT - by the power of google

Rory actually scored Pompey's only goal in the game you mention (his third in 16 appearances for the club) - a resounding 3-1 defeat to round off a miserable season in the bottom half of the table. He subsequently remained on Portsmouth's books until November 2002, when he decided to retire at the age of 25, having already undergone eight operations to his ankles and knees over the course of his career. Allen's next stop was indeed the 2002-03 Ashes, where he saw all five matches. "It was an amazing experience," he recalls. "Despite the scoreline (England lost 4-1)!"
Then Weymouth player-manager Steve Claridge claimed in 2004 that a man claiming to be Rory Allen had contacted him to arrange a trial and failed to turn up, but Allen denies that he ever made any attempt to return to football. Instead he spent some time "travelling and enjoying life" before eventually moving into a new career with the foreign office, where he still works today. "I miss the dressing-room camararderie sometimes, but not the football," he says. "I have never thought about getting back into it. I much prefer playing cricket in the summer and being lazy - in sporting terms - in the winter!"
