Four more players played their last game for the club...
Neil Summers
What a clubman! Would play wherever he was needed and gave his all. Across his four seasons he played 75 times (12 as sub) but only had one goal to his name. Would sometimes do a stint in goal too and sometimes would make flying one-handed saves when he wasn't, only to be sent off.
Eight times an MVP and nine times a Spoons winner kind of summed up his excellence and fallability. A rock on which the team was built.
Matthew Warr
The second of the Striker Cup seven to bow out. Matthew was an important part of central defence in the early years and clocked up 66 appearances (eight as sub) and, like Neil, scored just the once. After just eight games in 96/97 Matthew bounced back with his most productive season, playing 18 times. Four times an MVP and seven Spoons wins, his elegance on the ball and in the hairstyle department would be missed.
Scott Crumbie
Just the one season from Scott who played twelve times (twice as sub) and had three goals to his name. A very decent midfielder he joined as a favour and always put in a decent shift for us. Two MVP wins and no Spoons underline that.
Wayne Farquhar
'Farky' had played for the team in the five-a-side years but this was his one and only season in the Sunday line-up. Nine games (two as sub) and no goals, two Spoons and no MVPs probably don't do his contribution justice. An accomplished player he was also a morale-boosting presence and probably invented 'banter' as we know it today.
