Alex is a very solid defender, very reliable and unflappable.
"Alex is a regular in the team and provides
much needed steel and experience to the team. At home anywhere across the back four, Alex is able to slice a pass into touch
just as easily from either full back position but rarely is beaten by an opposing forward."

Anthony is an industrious and energetic player who has the footballing intelligence to go with it. Appearances
are limited, due to his coaching with MK Dons.
"Extremely skilful player with a great football brain who can
play in just about any position with distinction. Has settled most easily into a wide midfield or full back role. This is
so that he can give his opinion to Jonathan on the touchline throughout the match and question every pass, decision or piece
of team selection".

our record of four goals in a game and has also followed that up with a hat-trick this season. He has a venomous left foot.

We are pleased that Colin has re-joined for his second season. He is very comfortable on the ball and has good distribution.
His work commitments will reduce his appearances more than anything else.
"A new addition in pre-season, Colin
has already made a mark on the team (firstly by injuring Ian for six weeks and then with the winning goal to move us up to
4th in the league). Colin hits an excellent cross-field pass which would be even better if we had an 11 foot tall
left winger to keep the ball in play."

Ian rejoined a couple of seasons and has helped us improve our football. He is two footed with vision, composure
by the bucket load. He generally plays centre midfield or centre back. Very potent with free kicks.
"Back at
Manor after a few years playing South Midlands, Ian is the brains in the midfield. He has the ability to slow the game down
to his own walking pace and was once seen tracking back an opposing player without suffering from chest pains. He possesses
an amazing first touch and is our dead ball expert around the box".

He has been one of the most consistent players over the last few seasons. A very talented attacking player. He was injured
for a good part of last season, but he is raring to go and get his name on the scoresheet on a regular basis.
"Injuries
in the past couple of seasons have limited Jacob’s performances but hopefully with a clean bill of health he will be
back to the form that won him Player’s Player three seasons ago. Jake pulls the strings in midfield and his ability
to hit a killer through ball is almost equalled by his ability to win the midfield challenge".

Jaz was a regular leading scorer for the club, but the last few seasons his appearances have been limited. This season
looking stronger than ever and hungry for goals.
"Top scorer in each of the first three seasons, Jaz has been
sidelined through injuries and family commitments in recent seasons but has come back fresh from pre-season in good form.
He looks leaner and fitter than in previous seasons and should be a good bet for top-scorer."

Jim joined us last season and although he did not score enough goals, his work rate, heading and link up play are
becoming an essential part of or game.
"We anticipate that it will be around December when Jim manages to last
90 minutes. Having not played much 11-a-side in recent seasons Jim is finding his way, but his ability to hold up the play
and bring others into the game will certainly help Manor to progress this season."

Quiet off the field but dominant on it. From Centre Half has scored 16 goals in the last two seasons. "An
excellent defender or midfield player. Jim has been in the top 2 for Player’s Player award in each of the past four
years and really is the first name on the teamsheet. We’re already running a sweepstake as to when Jim will throw his
toys out of the pram and threaten to leave this season. Scored 6 goals from centre half last year and is a fearsome sight
when going on his end to end runs".

season ticket to Manchester United to limit his appearances. He is a strong defender who covers the back line very well.

Luke has been with us from the start. Probably the fittest player at the club who is comfortable in a number of positions.
He has been the vice captain for a number of seasons.
"Does not understand the meaning of a 50:50 challenge
as his speed and determination mean he is favourite to win most tackles. Luke is convinced that centre midfield is his best
position but is easily at home at centre half or full back, from where he will often go on long runs, sometimes with the ball
at his feet".

Captain of the club for a number of seasons. He leads by example and will not give up until the final whistle. Without
doubt he has the hardest shot at the club. Can deputise in goal without any worry to the back four.
"Club captain
who has introduced subtlety and skill into his natural game of hard tackling and long distance shooting. Mike always leads
by example and rarely loses a header or tackle. He still remains the only player in the club who will try 70 yard passes on
a pitch measuring 30 yards long!!"

Has in the past shown passing interest in playing, but this season has started to show what he can do when he is
available on a regular basis. He has very quick feet and balance.
"If Russell was available to us for a full
season he would be the difference between a top six and a top three finish in the league. Terrorises opponents with his speed,
close control and finishing. Can never be accused of going missing in a game but can certainly go missing in a season for
two – three months at a time. Would be guaranteed Player of the Year if he was there for a full season".

A season ticket holder at Arsenal limits his appearances but he still appears high on the scoring charts. Probably the
best finisher at the club.
"Only really starts playing in the last few months of the season. Ryan can go three
months without a goal and then score 15 in two months. A great finisher and someone who looks to play on the shoulder of the
last defender so that he can pop up in the box to finish any chances – in other worlds this would be classed as a goal
scrounger".

A player whose commitment to winning the ball keeps him a regular starter. He can lead the line or be a combative midfielder.
Managers player of the season 2009/10.
"Joined the club as a centre forward but with a goal scoring record similar
to that of Diego Forlan in his Man Utd days he has been converted (reluctantly) to a midfield player but will definitely not
convert further back as tried in pre-season. Voted as the hardest player in the team, Sean combines a great physical presence
with a great work rate and touch. Has the same pre-match routine before every game (10 pints on a Friday night in the local
by all accounts)"
