Striker
Ben Abbey

Ben was 26 when he signed for Mick Harvey in November 2004 after a spell out with injury while with St Albans City. The diminutive striker had moved into the Football League in 1999 when he moved from Crawley Town to Oxford United for £35,000 but after a series of substitute appearances there, he moved to Southend United in October 2000. At Roots Hall, he finished that season as their top scorer with 9 goals in 31 games but he dropped back into non-League with Stevenage Borough, Woking and Gravesend & Northfleet.

The Northwood crowd never really warmed to Ben despite a spell of four goals in seven games and he left at the end of the one season. Since then, Ben has played for the Metropolitan Police, and 2008/09 is his second season at Tooting & Mitcham United. DOB 13/5/78.
