An Introduction to Dunmow FC Reserves
Goaly:
Chris "watch the jewels" Soutar
Chris "Don't trap me in the 6 yard box I'm Claustophopbic" Soutar is our usual goalkeeper - star of stage and screen - Chris has had a staring role in some ropey BBC 3 documentary that we only watched to see the mighty Dunmow FC Reserves performing their stuff...we got 3 seconds...!! Magnificent Chris saves the hardest shots, the curlers, the lobs the deflections....and then lets 4 in through his legs - stalwart of the side Chris is our Goalkeeper!"
The Back 4:
Right Back: Mick/Michael/Mick Junior/Michael Junior/Windy/"The"....Miller
Stalwart of the back four - "Mick" won the Player of the year award last season for his performances at centre back. This year Mick (62) the oldest member of the squad has slipped into right back like a hand into a greased glove! Don't ask him to "watch the line" as sweeping is his game - smashing chef back at the Chequers Pub as well...
Centre Back: Jamie "Pro-Plus" Smith
'Ave It!!
Alledgedly Jamie Smith has blood lines back to the rather wonderful Vinny Samways - and he has that certain look about him - he's bloomin' tall as well - Master of the cut "it won't heal till next season" knee!! Rather resembles Deadline's French bassist - that'll get the punk audience interested - no one at Dunmow will have a clue!!
Centre Back: Wayne Randal
Man Mountain Wayne measures around 8 foot 9 inches in his socks (photo seems to have lost his feet!)- Deputy School Head knows how to control roudy strikers - no problem - new addition to this season - and we needed him!!
Left Back: Kolja Plomp
Kolja (pronouced Collier) Plomp (prononced Uggggh" as he heads the ball) is our left back. Sadly not present for the photocall - here's an 8 year old picture of the big fella in old Dunmow colours, with child (we'll sort a new piccy - he had to do an A12 diversion!!):
As you will have gathered Kolja is a huge cog in the Dunmow wheel - travelling 84 miles through some of the worst traffic in the UK (M25 car park) Kolja actually drives all the way from Ashford Kent to play for the mighty Dunmow Reserves - Clearly Doo Lally!!
Lee "I'll play anywhere except defence" Thompson
In typically "I look after my players" quality management style, Manager Seton has a tendency of playing Lee "I'll play anywhere except defence" Thompson in...defence. To Lee's eternal credit he accepts and then plays great football despite it all!
