Rich Rees
Tremendous fun to have about the place, Richie was a more than decent midfielder and goal threat and someone who always seemed on the verge of taking Spoons away from the rest of us. Perhaps followed in Gazza's footsteps a bit too much with the re-fuelling methods but we wouldn't change him.
1997/98 - 13 starts, 1 as sub, 7 goals, 2 MVP, 5 Spoons
1998/99 - 12 league starts, 2 goals, 3 cup starts, 1 as sub, 6 Spoons
1999/2000 - 13 league starts, 2 goals, 2 cup starts, 1 goal, 2 MVP, (no Spoons!)
Mark Sharp
Sharpy will live in Kylie legend for being the first of the team to be sent off (for a sly punch against some Stratton Red Eagles whippersnapper.) Should be remembered for being willing to be called on for a few minutes run-out as and when he was needed season in, season out.
1994/95 - 5 league starts, 6 as sub, 1 goal, 2 cup starts, 2 Spoons
1995/96 - 1 cup sub appearance
1997/98 - 1 start
1998/99 - 1 sub appearance
1999/2000 - 2 sub appearances
Chris Smedley
'Mr Reliable' in midfield, Smedders was with us from the start. Had the great combination of cultured feet and not being afraid to get stuck in. Would probably have got more goals if Gould and Merry hadn't hogged the set-pieces around the box but did have the party trick of scoring from corners every now and again.
1994/95 - 15 league starts, 5 goals, 1 cup start, 2 MVP
1995/96 - 18 league starts, 2 goals, 3 cup starts, 1 MVP

1997/98 - 12 starts, 3 as sub, 1 MVP
1998/99 - 9 league starts, 4 as sub, 2 cup starts, 2 as sub, 1 goal, 1 MVP
1999/2000 - 8 league starts, 2 as sub, 1 goal, 2 cup starts, 1 MVP, 1 Spoon
Simon Swatridge
Absolute electric-paced goal machine in the first season and terrorised everyone he played against. Perhaps didn't dovetail as well with Watty as we'd have liked so he sacrificed goals from his game to drop into midfield and set other people up instead. Injury deprived us of his services for most of the last two seasons. I'll leave you to guess which bit of him was injured.
1994/95 - 20 league starts, 26 goals, 1 cup start, 5 MVP, 3 Spoons (Player of the Season)
1995/96 - 18 starts, 4 goals, 4 MVP, 2 Spoons (Player of the Season)

1999/2000 - 5 league starts, 2 cup starts, 1 goal, 2 MVP, 1 Spoons
Ben Warr
Another stalwart from the early days, 'Boom Boom' covered most of the outfield positions in his career at some point or other. That versatility probably hindered him in nailing down a regular place as the seasons went on and I think he tried to retire on various occasions before he finally exited the Sunday morning stage.
1994/95 - 14 league starts, 1 as sub, 3 goals, 1 cup start, 1 as sub, 3 MVP, 1 Spoon
1995/96 - 11 league starts, 1 as sub, 2 cup starts, 1 MVP, 1 Spoon
1996/97 - 5 league starts, 4 as sub, 3 goals, 3 cup starts, 1 goal, 1 MVP, 1 Spoon
1997/98 - 3 league starts, 1 as sub, 1 MVP
1999/2000 - 4 league starts, 3 as sub, 2 MVP
Mark Watling
Joined in the second season and was our top scorer at the end of this period in the club. God knows how many he would have got if he'd played in the Division 8 side but having said that seemed to get better as he got older. Mixed pace and power to devastating effect and his goalscoring run in the 1999/2000 season is a thing of wonder.
1995/96 - 8 league starts, 1 as sub, 8 goals, 1 cup start, 1 goal, 3 MVP, 1 Spoon
1996/97 - 18 league starts, 1 as sub, 12 goals, 3 cup starts, 2 goals, 3 MVP, 1 Spoon
1997/98 - 12 starts, 8 goals, 4 MVP (Player of the Season)
1998/99 - 16 league starts, 13 goals, 4 cup starts, 2 goals, 4 MVP, 2 Spoons
1999/2000 - 12 league starts, 16 goals, 1 cup start. 2 MVP
Adie Winters
Joined in the 97/98 season and became a feature at full back over the next couple of years. Embarrassingly, I can't remember anything else.
1997/98 - 1 start, 1 as sub
1998/99 - 11 league starts, 3 as sub, 1 goal, 2 cup starts, 2 as sub, 1 MVP
1999/2000 - 18 league starts, 1 as sub, 3 cup starts, 2 MVP, 2 Spoons
