PLAYER PROFILES 2007-08

Troy Roach - Goalkeeper

"The honey monster" joined us mid-season and has made a big impact. How can anyone that big be only 15??? All the attributes to develop into a top keeper. Currently on trial with Leyton Orient.

Dan Power - Right Back

Strong, powerful no nonsense defender who loves to get forward. Always got something to say, but sadly a pork pie short of a picnic when it comes to intellectual matters.

Frank Lynam - Left Back

Knee high to a grasshopper but what Frank lacks in height he makes up for in heart/spirit. Punches way above his body weight!

Jamie Tompkins - Centre Back

Mr. Consistent. No nonsense, no frills, goes about his business in quite but affective manner. Excellent attitude. Will go on to play at a higher level. Middlesex County U18 representative honours this season.

Nick Glenday - Centre Back

Top defender and team captain who leads by example. Honest player who always gives you 100%.

Aiden Lynam – Midfield

Makes up other half of the Lynam twins. Strong on the ball. Very direct- always looking to run at defenders from deep. Aide - just remember to stop at the white line!!

Tyrone Durrant – Midfield

Rock in the middle of the park. Big, strong, wins his headers and tackles then gives it to oth­ers who can actually play football!! Only joking Ty. So laid back he's almost horizontal.

Scott Purdue – Midfield

Power house in the middle of the park. Strong personality, great engine, covers every blade of grass. A real winner but can a bit emotional at times! Middlesex County U18 representative honours and first team experience this season.

Jake O'Meara – Forward

"Sick note" spent more time in the physio room than on the pitch! When in action is a "class act" Will go on to play at a higher level.

Aryan Tajbakhsh - Forward/Midfield

Pound for pound the most skilful player in the squad – arrogant and cocky but a real match winner (when he remembers to pass to his team mates!). Middlesex County U18 representative honours and first team experience this season.

Jack Bennett – Midfield

Top professional, top attitude, top commitment, top work ethic. First name on the team sheet (when available!). Left foot to die for. Excellent delivery from wide areas /set pieces. All round good bloke (and a right brown nose!). Middlesex County U18 representative honours and first team experience this season.

Sam Holland – Midfield

"Rolls Royce" of a player. Silky skills, good pace, excellent delivery from wide. Sadly de­prived of a cup final appearance due to recent broken leg whilst playing for our Allied’s. We all wish you a speedy re­covery Sam.

Courtney Francis – Forward

"Pace and Power" - very direct and causes problems in behind. Another laid back character that sometimes needs a rocket up his arsenal to get him going!!!!

Elliot Gibbs – Defender

Tall, elegant defender in the "Beckenbauer' mould. When he's not studying, a real asset and definitely one for the future.

Luke Aldridge – Forward

Limited opportunities this year but excellent attitude : he never complains, works hard and gets on with it. Confident player who like all good strikers needs goals.

Edward Hatcher – Defender

Youngest member of the squad, hence limited number of opportunities this season. Definitely one for the future. Strong natural defender with excellent distribution. Middlesex County U16 representative honours as captain this season.

Ollie Wright – Midfield

Midfield dynamo, a skilful footballer with bags of running. Limited opportunities this year but demonstrated good attitude and has been patient in waiting for recent opportunities where he has shone. Key member of squad going forward into next season.

Chris Michael – Midfield

Neat and tidy footballer with bags of ability. Superb attitude despite limited opportunities. Good experience gained going into next season.

Dan Billington – Midfield

A late addition to the squad, a skilful midfielder with an eye for a pass. Limited opportunities but good experience gained to take into next season.

Will Hudson – Midfield

Another late addition to the squad whom we anticipate having a big impact next season. Strong powerful and competitive central midfielder.
