The Squad

I suppose before I list any match reports, I should give an idea of the cast involved with some kind of squad list.  This is by no means comprehensive as we frequently have players guesting for us from elsewhere, and indeed some players listed are playing more often than not for other teams, but here we go:

+Paul Fennell – Irish tyro and goalkeeper extraordinaire

Alex Hannah – Another member of our Celtic League, the Welsh right-back dynamo and former MMA fighter.

John Grimsdale – A rock in the centre of defence, vary rarely do you see him get ruffled.

Peter “Speddo” Speddings – Central defender who has the knack of being in the right place at the right time.  And that has also occasionally applied at the other end of the pitch too.

Chris Maundrell – Versatile defender (i.e. equally incompetent wherever I play), who somehow seems to have picked up the nickname “Mouthy” simply because instructions given on the home pitch have been rumoured to have been heard in Sutton…

Alan “AJ” Johnston – Another Celt, this time from North of the border, full of running on the right side of midfield and often full of choice comments about his own performance.

Nick “Radders” Radford – The maestro, pulling the strings in midfield and linking front and back seamlessly (and I don’t just say that because he gives me a lift to away games!)

Mike Dawson – The Duracell bunny of the team, seemingly able to cover every inch of the pitch and still be running at the end of the match, assuming his hamstring hasn’t gone.

Akira Swami – An energetic forward who brings the average age of the squad down significantly.

Qaz Khokhar – Our very own Fernando Torres, often up front, not on the score sheet as often as he’d hope though.

Andrew Gray – The gymnast and another young forward able to run all day

Martin Burke – A defender who few strikers get close to for fear of losing their heads from one of his 16s

Joe Hendry – Our second Scot can fit in in defence or midfield quite comfortably, and lets his feet do the talking.

Bob Stephenson – The fox in the box.

Trevor Marsh – Wingman!
