Neil
Smith: Caps:
21 Goals: 0
A goalkeeper in his first season with the club. Neil's distribution
with the ball from hand or feet is a feature of his game. He
has already played for the Club in a tournament final and can
do a job as an outfield player if required. |
|
Paul
Barlow: Total Icarus Caps 135 Goals 7
Another solid Icarus performer that has done it all with the
club. PB's reading of the game provides assurance for his defensive
partners and his aerial ability is an asset at both ends of
the pitch. He has kept himself fit and is something of a role
model for the younger group to aspire towards. |
 |
Jeff
Butler:
Caps 112 Goals 10
The 'Butts' has been a consistent performer with
Icarus for years and still remains as reliable on the pitch.
He's fit, industrious and possesses a good left foot and this
boy loves a tackle. The opposition however, are not so keen
on Jeff's physical approach. |
 |
Garry
Ball: Caps 51 Goals 2
A talented full back, Garry is also a former manager of the
Vets Team. He is now the Deputy Chairman of the Club. Comfortable
on the ball, G-Bad can play anywhere. His reading of the game
is unsurpassed and his passing is always class. Garry has suffered
from a serious ankle injury over the past 18 months, but he
is on the road to regaining full match fitness. |
 |
Ian
Heath: Caps
25 Goals 2
A solid,
no-nonsense, physical defender that possesses excellent ability
in the air. Ian's fitness levels and ability to bring the ball
out of defence make him a solid performer for the Club. His
ability in the air make Ian a significant goal threat from set
pieces. |
 |
Rob
Swinney: Caps 175 Goals 14
Rob 'The Civvie' Swinney is an Icarus Legend. He has in excess
of 100 performances and his ability to marshal the defence,
read the game and distribute the ball make his presence in the
side a must. A committed Club Man Rob still travels the country
to pull on the shirt. |
 |
Ady
Morris: Caps 17 Goals 2
In his first season it became evident that Ady's diminutive
stature belies an excellent footballer. This versatile player
is a good reader of the game and his distribution and ball retention
are first class. |
 |
Stu
Lindsay: Caps: 68 Goals: 12
'The Chairman' can play at either centre-back or in the centre
of midfield. Stu's excellent in the air and his best role is
the holding midfield player where he does the simple thing very
effectively with good distribution. |
 |
Teo
Bradley: Caps 16 Goals 1
Another player in his second season with Icarus. Teo's a central
midfield player that is tenacious in the tackle, good in the
air and an excellent distributer of the ball. His presence in
the midfield was a main feature of the resurgence of the Vets
last season and more of the same is on the menu for this season.
|
 |
Si
Hays: Caps 67 Goals 14
'The Poet' is a very technical player and he can play in either
midfield or as a forward. Si's ability to pick a pass and strike
a dead-ball are real features of his play. Always carries a
goal threat when involved.
|
 |
Steve
Wood:
Caps 34 Goals: 17
'Woody' was a revelation last year in his first season for the
Club. His fitness, powerful shot and ability to run with the
ball was a used in a variety of positions. However, it is in
the cente of midfield where he is the most effective leading
by example in his efforts.
|
 |
Gary McIntosh:
Caps: 50 Goals: 4
Tosh is an experienced defender who can play at full back or
centre half. The Scottish Superstar is a popular member of the
squad and has recently taken on the role of Director of Coaching.
Calm on the ball and dominant in the air, Tosh is a class act.
He will be putting the squad though their paces on this season's
Tour. In a former life, Tosh coached the RAF under 25 team.
|
 |
Pete
Beer: Caps
83 Goals 25
The Vets best finisher - especially from a yard! Pete is another
player that possesses excellent fitness levels and this is applied
in his strong forward runs. He can hold the ball up well but
it is facing the goal that he does his best work.
|
 |
Dave
Bond: Caps: 59 Goals: 34
'Bondy' finished last season as Club Top Scorer and he will
be keen to repeat that this time around. He is a forward that
can hold the ball up effectively or play off-the-shoulder of
the defence and still has a bit of pace.
|
 |
Graham
Lord: Caps: 7 Goals: 0
Yet another left footer. Lordy made his debut against Lyneham
as a substitute and was instrumental in the side's fight back
for a draw. A composed defender that is comfortable in possession
and he possesses the ability to pick a pass. |
 |
Justin
Walters : Caps: 16 Goals: 1
Another midfield player with staggering fitness and stamina.
Justin's performances wide in midfield last season were superb
and his ability to run with the ball, at pace, will continue
to torment full-backs this season. |
 |
Dinger
Bell : Caps: 8 Goals: 1
A versatile player that can play at either full back or in the
centre of defence. Dingers attitude is always first class and
his fitness and physical approach can be employed effectively
when going forward as well. |
 |
Eddie Roughsedge:
Caps 137 Goals 8
Eddie's unbelievable fitness and stamina ensure that he continues
to ply his silky skills either in midfield or as a conventional
winger. From either position he carries a significant goal threat
and his performance away to Barclays Bank last season is the
Blue Print for success for any player.
|
|
Jon
Pullen: Caps:
122 Goals: 40
JP is another long-term servant of the club. He is very versatile
and can play as either a forward, defender or goalkeeper. He
is most effective when playing as a forward where he uses his
physical presence to hold the ball up and bring the midfield
into the game. |
 |
Darren
Godwin: Caps:
17 Goals: 1
Daz was on the Cyprus tour and has appeared for the 1st team
already in his first season with the club. A strong running,
athletic midfield or forward player that possesses an excellent
right foot shot. Daz will be a key member for the Vets this
season.
|
 |
Mike
Greenway:
Caps 37 Goals 1
'Greeners' is a versatile player that has improved immensely
from his early showings for the Club. He is comfortable in possession
of the football and can play at full-back, or across the midfield.
Greeners' fancies himself as a set-play specialist and usually
delivers.
|
|
Kev
Farrell:
Caps 23 Goals 0
Another defender with a good left foot. Kev can play at either
centre back or left back and his distribution and ability to
bring the ball out of defence are seen frequently to good effect.
