The 2010 Squad

Johnny Cowley - Goalkeeper

Plays for Purton on a Saturday. Superb goalie and a great find for The Nine Elms.

James Pottick - Defence

A Wroughton bag. Versatile across our back four and an all round lovely man.

James Townsend - Centre Half

Club Captain of The Nine Elms (only just). Brilliant centre half, solid in the tackle, great in the air. Will be great one day. Plays for Purton on Saturdays.

Alan Russell - Centre Half

Solid at the back with JT. Most annoying player anyone will ever play against. Great in the air and good passes. Plays for Minety on a Saturday.

Paul Steele - Centre Half

A centre forwards nightmare. He knows he is better than anyone, just wish he could play every week. Another Elms original.

Rob Biltcliffe - Left Back

Took him a few years to establish himself as a regular. A Nine Elms original. Very reliable whether in a back 3 or 4. Will come good in years to come.

AJ Mathew - Right Back

Started as a Centre Forward but the gaffer moved him to right back where he has been superb. Great lad to have around. Pacy and very skilful but can’t head. Also plays for Minety.

Michael Lawson - Centre Midfield

Great player but all left foot. Still adapting himself to Elms football.

Paul Bullimore - Mr Versatile

Another Nine Elms original. Bully can play absolutely anywhere and will never let you down. Great on the left or right back or midfield.

Ben Hinson - Goalkeeper/Midfield

Will forever be remembered for winning the league single handedly last year literally.

Steve Townsend - Left Midfield

Finally returned after leaving us for The Lava Lounge. Great left foot and knows where the goal is.

Phil McDonough - Midfield

Absolutely brilliant anywhere in the midfield. Great in the air and tenacious in the tackle. Rapid as well. Just needs to improve his English.

Steve Yeardley - Anywhere

Brilliant, brilliant footballer, defence, midfield, up front with Wozzer. Will be man of the match wherever you play him. Represents Highworth Town on a Saturday.

Marcus Hall - Centre Midfield

Brilliant passer of a football. Great tackler. Great when he walks in the changing rooms. Pity he plays for Wootton Bassett. Longest in the shower.

Mike Lees - Centre Midfield

Plays right back for Purton. Solid player for The Elms, great tackler and passer. Needs to score more goals though.

Matt Dawe - Midfield

Ever so not reliable. Brilliant centre midfielder, absolute 100%er. Would be in anyone’s team if he was 21. Plays for Minety on a Saturday.

Ed Jose - Forward

Most skilful player in the pub by a country mile. Impossible to match, great distribution, again needs to score more and stop getting educated at university.

Ross Peart - Forward

Great touch, been missing for a while due to baby. Knows where the goal is. Plays for Highworth reserves.

John McDonough - Centre Forward

Mr Angry in football. Absolute clinical footballer and finisher but needs more composure in front of goal. Calm down.

David Wood - Centre Forward

Probably the best signing the gaffer has ever made. Currently nursing a broken femur. Awesome footballer. Not much more to say.

David Brown - Right Back/Midfield

Plays for Minety on Saturdays. Great wing player. 100%er probably play anywhere and will chip in with the odd goal.

Ryan Child - Left Midfield

Another Purton player. Don’t know how to describe him, Bambi on ice comes to mind. Great footballer to have in the squad, needs to be consistent though.

Warren Fuller - Centre Forward

Purton club captain. Rebel without a cause. Scored over 400 goals for The Nine Elms in 7 seasons. Aggressive and angry striker who knows what he wants. A perfectionist. Another Nine Elms original.

Russell Fuller - Centre Forward

Warren Fuller but skinnier. There’s just no stopping him. Goal machine, so skilful, rapid but got an ankle like chocolate. Instrumental last year scoring 36 goals in 12 games.

Clive Fuller - Manager (apart from Alex Ferguson)

The most successful manager in England. A lovely man. Expects the best from his team but understands alcohol. Does have a big say on Sunday morning. Very proud of all the players that have worn a Nine Elms shirt with pride. A true gaffer.
