Allan LANCHESTER (1992 - ):
He was first christened "Anders" after his resemblance to Limpar, but later was known as "Savage" after he put the boot into Gary Roberts head during a game.
Anders was tigerish in the tackle (not) and to date has scored 2 goals. Anders has been a good club man and has been regularly available since joining the Club.
He plays at left midield and has also filled in at left back. Leaves it so late to tackle that he endangers himself. His sit up and beg style of approaching an opponent is quite comical.
Gary LAWRENCE (1992 - 1994):
Lawro was the fastest player the Club has ever had. He once ran and received his OWN bad pass! He insisted that he was a striker, but always played better in midfield
where his pace would get him past defenders. When he did play up front there was nowhere for him to run. He did score a hatrick in one game at the Barrass Stadium.
It was in a league game against Ozay Rovers, his 3rd was a header with his wooly bobble hat on. He refused to wear shorts and always wore track suit bottoms and gloves.
I think the old English climate was disagreeable to him and he would have relished the chance to be back in the West Indies. Scored a total of 10 goals for the Club.
Mick LEES (1990 - 1992):
Nobody gave Mick a nickname because he was like a mountain and scarey with it. Reminded me of Japp Stam to look at. He was another recruit from the Met and was a bulldozing centre half. Like all centre halves, they are
really strikers inside and always think that they can do better. He was given the chance and score a couple, but it takes more than that. He became very moody and after a 2-9 defeat in the B Team against Marques Utd in 1992
he stormed off nicking TD's track suit top and was never seen again, apart from on duty at Spurs games - home and abroad. He was from the Isle of Man and was a devout Chelsea boy so he wasn't all bad. Scored 3 goals for the Club.
Pat LEVINS (1997 - 1999):
Pat was a looney left back with 100% committment and not much more. His cruching tackles normally left him worse off than his opponent and eventually he had to back up because he got married - ha ha, you thought I was going to say "injury".
A likable man who was unlucky bot to start the 1998 B Team Cup Final, mainly due to an injury but came on for extra time.
Gordon Lloyd (1986 - 1990):
Lloydy was simply "Mr Bullshit" Done everything, got everything, been everywhere etc.... In a game in which the B's were behind 1-2, we were awarded a penalty. Up he steps and claims that he has converted
44 consecutive penalties. He places the ball on the spot, takes a few paces back and in he runs. Is this 45 we wonder. No, he blasts it into the trees behind the goal and we lose the game.
Another time, we need a ref for an important cup match against Gleneagle (B). He volunteers - " I'm a qualified ref'" he proclaims. He turns up at the ground - just like the ref' does. He gets changed in the ref's changing room and turns out on the pitch
with his brand new full referee's kit complete with new notebook, new sharpened pencil, new whistle and new hair do. The game is a bit of a free scoring affair and with 10 minutes to go, we find ourselves 3-4 down. Lloydy gives us a free kick about
35 yards out. "Squirrel Hewitt" unleashes an unstopable shot into the top corner. What does he do? He looks at the bloke from their side who is running the line who says "Offside ref". This cretin of a ref' disallows the goal and we go out of the cup.
I am not sure, but I think he was the top scorer for the first ever B Team season 1986-87.
Karl LOMAS (1994 - 2000):
Lummox was simply that. Big jolly left midfield bully. Kicked everybody even his own players. Good Club man to start off,
taking over secretary from Clive in only his 2nd season. Made a hash of it but did the job to the best as he was bothered.
Karl was in the losing B Team cup final side in 1998 even though many said he shouldn't have, but there were a few more like that on the day...
Simon LYONS (1984 - 1989):
"Lyons the LOB" he was known as. This was because he would never shoot when he could lob. Great Club man and when he took over as Secretary,
he intriduced the "Newsletter" which has become very popular subequently.
Simon was top scorer in his first season, pipping TD at the post in the very last game of the 1984-85 season by one goal. TD was put at left back that day and
has never forgiven the then manager John James for putting him there.
When he packed up his role as secretary, leaving a bit of a mess, the League informed us that never again must this man represent the Wanderers as secretary.
However, it was through him that we gained our first ever sponsorship when the Frost brothers joined the Club. He scored 38 goals for the Club.
