Alan WATSON (1980-93):
Alan was simply known as "Watson". He was one of the original team and played in goal with a packet of fags and a couple of cans very close by. In that first season his work
was so cut out that he was voted the first ever Player of the Year. Excellent shot stopper, useless at kicking and coming off his line but a good lad, although some times very moody.
Alan WADDINGTON (1983-87):
Waddo was a very hard tackling midfield player, probably with the hardest free kick. He scored mant free kicks from distance and if you got in the way of one, it would certainly smart a bit.
With his Rod Stewart hair do, other players had to wait for ages to get to the mirror after the game. Another of his specialities was to mow down an opponent and get up and walk away as of nothing had happened.
This, despite the opposition baying for his blood - his face, a picyure of innocence. Much travelled he finally left to work in the States but has returned a couple of times - threatening to make a comeback, but he never did.
Paul WILSON(1995-98):
"3 points Wilson" he was known as. This nickname came about because after nearly every game, the first thing he said, was
"Did I get the 3 points?" This refers to the Manager's points awarded to players after every game. Wilse as he was also know as, was
a left back who got forward well and had a natural left foot. Good crosser of the ball and only ever kicked with the outside of his favoured foot.
His right was completely useless. Nice bloke who loved a pint or two and was always flexing his pecs' in the changing room mirror.
He always wanted to play further forward and actually had some good games in the centre of midfield for the B Team scoring a couple of goals.
He left to do the "knowledge" which was rather funny as his mate Jimmy Grech and him were jokingly known as Dumb and Dumber.
