Stacy Long
Stacy William Long (born 11 January 1985) is an English footballer who plays for League Two side AFC Wimbledon as a midfielder.
Long started his football career at Charlton Athletic in 1995 and progressed through the youth system, spending a total of ten years on the club's books, and although a regular in the reserve side he failed to make a single first–team appearance. Before the start of the 2005–06 season, Long joined Notts County after being released from Charlton. He spent one season at the club, before moving into non-league with Ebbsfleet United in July 2006. He played over 135 games in total for the club, helping them to FA Trophy success in the process. He joined Stevenage in June 2009, and helped the club reach the Football League for the first time in the club's history in his first season at the Hertfordshire outfit. Long's success at Stevenage continued the following season, helping the club earn back-to-back promotions, earning promotion to League One for the first time in their history. He was released by Stevenage after three years at the club, and subsequently joined AFC Wimbledon on a free transfer in June 2012. Long has represented England at various youth levels, as well as playing for the England C team in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word long:
“It is surprising with what impunity and comfort one who has always lain in a warm bed in a close apartment, and studiously avoided drafts of air, can lie down on the ground without a shelter, roll himself in a blanket, and sleep before a fire, in a frosty autumn night, just after a long rain-storm, and even come soon to enjoy and value the fresh air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
